COMEDK · Physics · 12. Thermal Properties of Matter
The wavelength of the radiation emitted by a body depends upon
- A the nature of the surface
- B the area of the surface
- C the temperature of the surface
- D All of the above
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) the temperature of the surface
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
According to Wien's law, the wavelength of radiation emitted by a body is \(\lambda \propto \frac{1}{T}\) i.e., it depends on the temperature of the surface.
