A black body at $${1227^ \circ }C$$ emits radiations with maximum intensity at a wavelength of $$5000\,\mathop A\limits^ \circ .$$ If the temperature of the body is increased by $${1000^ \circ }C,$$ the maximum intensity will be observed at
A
$$4000\,\mathop A\limits^ \circ $$
B
$$5000\,\mathop A\limits^ \circ $$
C
$$6000\,\mathop A\limits^ \circ $$
D
$$3000\,\mathop A\limits^ \circ $$
Answer :
$$3000\,\mathop A\limits^ \circ $$
According to Wien's law
$${\lambda _m}T = {\text{constant}}\left( {{\text{say}}\,b} \right)$$
where, $${\lambda _m}$$ wavelength corresponding to maximum intensity of radiation and $$T$$ is temperatures of the body in kelvin.
So for two different cases i.e. at two different temperature of body
$$\therefore \frac{{{{\lambda '}_{m'}}}}{{{\lambda _m}}} = \frac{T}{{T'}}$$
Given, $$T = 1227 + 273 = 1500\,K,$$
$$\eqalign{
& T' = 1227 + 1000 + 273 = 2500\,K \cr
& {\lambda _m} = 5000\mathop A\limits^ \circ \cr} $$
Hence, $${{\lambda '}_m} = \frac{{1500}}{{2500}} \times 5000 = 3000\mathop A\limits^ \circ $$

Parallel rays of light of intensity $$I = 912\,W\,{m^{ - 2}}$$ are incident on a spherical black body kept in surroundings of temperature $$300\,K.$$ Take Stefan-Boltzmann constant $$\sigma = 5.7 \times {10^{ - 8}}\,W\,{m^{ - 2}}{K^{ - 4}}$$ and assume that the energy exchange with the surroundings is only through radiation. The final steady state temperature of the black body is close to
A
$$330 \,K$$
B
$$660 \,K$$
C
$$990 \,K$$
D
$$1550 \,K$$
Answer :
$$330 \,K$$
In steady state
Energy lost = Energy gained
$$\eqalign{
& \sigma \left( {{T^4} - T_0^4} \right) \times 4\,\pi {R^2} = I\left( {\pi {R^2}} \right) \cr
& \therefore \,\,5.7 \times {10^{ - 8}}\left[ {{T^4} - {{\left( {300} \right)}^4}} \right] \times 4 = 912 \cr
& \therefore \,\,T = 330\,K \cr} $$

7.
Consider two hot bodies $${B_1}$$ and $${B_2}$$ which have temperatures $${100^ \circ }C$$ and $${80^ \circ }C$$ respectively at $$t = 0.$$ The temperature of the surroundings is $${40^ \circ }C.$$ The ratio of the respective rates of cooling $${R_1}$$ and $${R_2}$$ of these two bodies at $$t = 0$$ will be
A
$${R_1}:{R_2} = 3:2$$
B
$${R_1}:{R_2} = 5:4$$
C
$${R_1}:{R_2} = 2:3$$
D
$${R_1}:{R_2} = 4:5$$
Answer :
$${R_1}:{R_2} = 3:2$$
Initially at $$t = 0$$
Rate of cooling $$\left( R \right) \propto $$ Fall in temperature of body $$\left( {\theta - {\theta _0}} \right)$$
$$\frac{{{R_1}}}{{{R_2}}} = \frac{{{\theta _1} - {\theta _0}}}{{{\theta _2} - {\theta _0}}} = \frac{{100 - 40}}{{80 - 40}} = \frac{3}{2}$$

Wien’s displacement law expresses relation between
A
wavelength corresponding to maximum energy and absolute temperature
B
radiated energy and wavelength
C
emissive power and temperature
D
colour of light and temperature
Answer :
wavelength corresponding to maximum energy and absolute temperature
According to Wien’s displacement law, the quantity of energy radiated out by a body is not uniformly distributed over all the wavelengths emitted by it. It is maximum for a particular wavelength $$\left( \lambda \right),$$ which is different at different temperatures. As the temperature is increased, the value of the wavelength which carries maximum energy is decreased.
The statement of this law is as follows
“The wavelength corresponding to maximum energy is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature of the body.”
i.e. $${\lambda _m} \propto \frac{1}{T}\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,{\lambda _m}T = {\text{constant}}$$

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, $$b = 2.88 \times {10^6}nmK.$$ Which of the following is correct?
A
$${U_3} = 0$$
B
$${U_1} > {U_2}$$
C
$${U_2} > {U_1}$$
D
$${U_1} = 0$$
Answer :
$${U_2} > {U_1}$$
Given, temperature, $${T_1} = 5760\,K$$
Since, it is given that energy of radiation emitted by the body at wavelength $$250\,nm$$ in $${U_1},$$ at wavelength $$500\,nm$$ is $${U_2}$$ and that at $$1000\,nm$$ is $${U_3}.$$
$$\because $$ According to Wien’s law, we get $${\lambda _m}T = b$$
where, $$b =$$ Wien’s constant $$ = 2.88 \times {10^6}nmK$$
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow {\lambda _m} = \frac{b}{T} \cr
& \Rightarrow {\lambda _m} = \frac{{2.88 \times {{10}^6}nmK}}{{5760\,K}} \cr
& \Rightarrow {\lambda _m} = 500\,nm \cr} $$
$$\therefore {\lambda _m} = $$ wavelength corresponding to maximum energy, so, $${U_2} > {U_1}.$$

A liquid in a beaker has temperature $$\theta \left( t \right)$$ at time $$t$$ and $${{\theta _0}}$$ is temperature of surroundings, then according to Newton's law of cooling the correct graph between $${\log _e}\left( {\theta - {\theta _0}} \right)$$ and $$t$$ is:
A
B
C
D
Answer :
Newton's law of cooling
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{d\theta }}{{dt}} = - k\left( {\theta - {\theta _0}} \right) \cr
& \Rightarrow \,\,\frac{{d\theta }}{{\left( {\theta - {\theta _0}} \right)}} = kdt \cr} $$
Integrating
$$ \Rightarrow \,\,\log \left( {\theta - {\theta _0}} \right) = - kt + c$$
Which represents an equation of straight line.
Thus the option (A) is correct.
