10-2.Transmission of Heat
normal
The power radiated by a black body is $P$ and it radiates maximum energy around the wavelength $\lambda_0$. If the temperature of the black body is now changed so that it radiates maximum energy around wavelength $\frac{3}{4}\lambda_0$, the power radiated by it will increase by a factor of
A
$4/3$
B
$16/9$
C
$64/27$
D
$256/81$
Solution
$\lambda_{\max } \alpha \frac{1}{T} \quad \Rightarrow \lambda_{\max } T=$ constant
$\Rightarrow \lambda_{\max _{1}} T_{1}=\lambda_{\max _{2}} T_{2}$
$\Rightarrow \lambda_{o} T=\frac{3 \lambda_{o} T^{1}}{4}$
$\Rightarrow T^{1}=\frac{4}{3} T$
So, $\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}}=\left(\frac{T^{1}}{T}\right)^{4}=\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)^{4}=\frac{256}{81}$
