Assertion : For higher temperature, the peak emission wavelength of a black body shifts to lower wavelengths.
Reason : Peak emission wavelength of a blackbody is proportional to the fourth power of temperature.

Assertion : A body that is a good radiator is also a good absorber of radiation at a given wavelength.
Reason : According to Kirchoff's law the absorptivity of a body is equal to its emissivity at a given wavelength.

Assertion : The equivalent thermal conductivity of two plates of same thickness in contact (series) is less than the smaller value of thermal conductivity.
Reason : For two plates of equal thickness in contact (series) the equivalent thermal conductivity is given by

Q 7MCQ1 Mark
The total energy radiated from a black body source is collected for one minute and is used to heat a quantity of water. The temperature of water is found to increase form $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $20.5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. If the absolute temperature of the black body is doubled and the experiment is repeated with the same quantity of water at $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, the temperature of water will be
  • A
    $21^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
  • B
    $22^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
  • C
    $24^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
  • $28^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$

  • A
    $4800 \mathring A$
  • $9600 \mathring A$
  • C
    $7200 \mathring A$
  • D
