A black body has maximum wavelength ' \(\lambda_{\mathrm{m}}\) ' at temperature \(2000 \mathrm{~K}\). Its corresponding wavelength at temperature \(3000 \mathrm{~K}\) will be

  1. A \(\frac{4 \lambda_m}{9}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2 \lambda_m}{3}\)
  3. C \(\frac{3 \lambda_{\mathrm{m}}}{2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{9}{4} \lambda_m\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{2 \lambda_m}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

By Wien's displacement law, \(\lambda \mathrm{T}=\) constant
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \lambda \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{~T}} \\
& \frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}=\frac{\mathrm{T}_1}{\mathrm{~T}_2}=\frac{2000}{3000}=\frac{2}{3} \\
& \lambda_2=\frac{2}{3} \lambda_1
\end{aligned}
