10-2.Transmission of Heat
normal
The maximum energy in the thermal radiation from a hot source occurs at a wavelength of $11\times10^{-5}\, cm$. According to Wien's law, the temperature of the source (on kelvin scale) will be n times the temperature of another source (on Kelvin scale) for which the wavelength at maximum energy is $5.5\times10^{-5}\, cm$. The value of $n$ is
A
$2$
B
$4$
C
$0.5$
D
$1$
Solution
$\lambda_{1} \mathrm{T}_{1}=\lambda_{2} \mathrm{T}_{2}$
Given $\mathrm{T}_{1}=\mathrm{nT}_{2}$
$\lambda_{1} \mathrm{nT}_{2}=\lambda_{2} \mathrm{T}_{2}$
$\Rightarrow n=\frac{\lambda_{2}}{\lambda_{1}}=\frac{5.5 \times 10^{5}}{11 \times 10^{5}}=\frac{1}{2}$
