The frequency ' \(v_m\) ' corresponding to which the energy emitted by a black body is maximum may vary with the temperature ' \(T\) ' of the body as shown by the curves ' \(A\) ', ' \(B\) ', ' \(C\) ' and ' \(D\) ' in the figure. Which one of these represents the correct variation?

  1. A straight line D
  2. B curve C
  3. C straight line B
  4. D curve \(A\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) straight line B

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Wien's displacement law,
\(\begin{aligned}
& \lambda_m \propto \frac{1}{T} \text { or } \frac{c}{\nu_m} \propto \frac{1}{T} \\
& \nu_m \propto T
\end{aligned}\)
Hence, curve \(B\) represents the correct variation.
