MCQ
If $\lambda_{ m }$ denotes the wavelength at which the radioactive emission from a black body at a temperature $T \;K$ is maximum, then
  • A
    $\lambda_{ m }$ is independent of $T$
  • B
    $\lambda_{ m } \propto T$
  • C
    $\lambda_{ m } \propto T ^{-4}$
  • $\lambda_{ m } \propto T ^{-1}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\lambda_{ m } \propto T ^{-1}$
d
By Wien's law

$\lambda_{ m }=\frac{ b }{ T }$

Here, ' $b$ ' is constant

$\text { or } \lambda_m \propto T^{-1}$
