MCQ
The energy distribution $E$ with the wavelength $(\lambda)$ for the black body radiation at temperature $T$ Kelvin is shown in the figure. As the temperature is increased the maxima will

  • Shift towards left and become higher
  • B
    Rise high but will not shift
  • C
    Shift towards right and become higher
  • D
    Shift towards left and the curve will become broader

Answer

Correct option: A.
Shift towards left and become higher
(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.
