  • question_answer
    Certain substance emits only the wavelengths \[{{\lambda }_{1}},\ {{\lambda }_{2}},\ {{\lambda }_{3}}\] and \[{{\lambda }_{4}}\] when it is at a high temperature. When this substance is at a colder temperature, it will absorb only the following wavelengths                                                                 [MP PET 1990]

    A)            \[{{\lambda }_{1}}\]          

    B)            \[{{\lambda }_{2}}\]

    C)            \[{{\lambda }_{1}}\] and \[{{\lambda }_{2}}\]           

    D)            \[{{\lambda }_{1}},\ {{\lambda }_{2}},\ {{\lambda }_{3}}\] and \[{{\lambda }_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               According to Kirchoff?s law in spectroscopy. If a substance emit certain wavelengths at high temperature, it absorbs the same wavelength at comparatively lower temperature.
