The radiation energy density per unit wavelength at temperature \(T\) is maximum at a wavelength \(\lambda_0\). At temperature \(2 T\), it will have a maximum at a wavelength

  1. A \(\frac{\lambda_0}{4}\)
  2. B \(2 \lambda_0\)
  3. C \(4 \lambda_0\)
  4. D \(\frac{\lambda_0}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{\lambda_0}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Wien's displacement law, \(\lambda_m T=\) constant.
\(\begin{aligned} & \therefore \lambda_{\mathrm{m}} \times T=\lambda^{\prime} \times T^{\prime} \\ & \Rightarrow \lambda_0 T=\lambda^{\prime} \times 2 T \\ & \Rightarrow \lambda^{\prime}=\frac{\lambda_0}{2}\end{aligned}\)
