a (a) According to Wein's displacement law ${\lambda _m} \propto \frac{1}{T}$.
Hence, if temperature increases ${\lambda _m}$ decreases i.e., peak of the $E - \lambda $ curve shift towards left.

Calculate the surface temperature of the planet, if the energy radiated by unit area in unit time is $5.67\times10^4\, watt$ : (Planet may be assumed to black body)
One end of a copper rod of length $1.0\;m$ and area of cross-section ${10^{ - 3}}$ is immersed in boiling water and the other end in ice. If the coefficient of thermal conductivity of copper is $92\;cal/m{\rm{ - }}s{{\rm{ - }}^o}C$ and the latent heat of ice is $8 \times {10^4}cal/kg$, then the amount of ice which will melt in one minute is
The wavelength of maximum energy released during an atomic explosion was $2.93 \times {10^{ - 10}}m$. Given that Wein's constant is $2.93 \times {10^{ - 3}}m - K$, the maximum temperature attained must be of the order of
A black body is at a temperature of $5760\ K$. The energy of radiation emitted by the body at wavelength $250\ nm$ is $U_1$, at wavelength $500\ nm$ is $U_2$ and that at $1000\ nm$ is $U_3$. Wien's constant, $b = 2.88 \times 10^6\ nm\ K$. Which of the following is correct?
A rod of length $L$ with sides fully insulated is of a material whose thermal conductivity varies with $\alpha$ temperature as $ K= \frac{\alpha }{T}$, where $\alpha$ is a constant. The ends of the rod are kept at temperature $T_1$ and $T_2$. The temperature $T$ at $x,$ where $x$ is the distance from the end whose temperature is $T_1$ is
