    The maximum energy in the thermal radiation from a heat source occurs at a wavelength of \[11\times {{10}^{-5}}cm.\] According to Wien's displacement law, the temperature of this source will be n times the temperature of another source for which the wavelength at maximum energy is \[55\times {{10}^{-5}}\] cm. Then the value of n is :

    A)  1                                            

    B)  1

    C)  2                                            

    D)  4

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     In 1896, Wien established the following relation between temperature T and minimum wavelength \[{{\lambda }_{m}}\] for black body \[{{\lambda }_{m}}T=\text{constant}\text{.}\] First case, \[{{\lambda }_{1}}=11\times {{10}^{-5}}\,\text{cm}\] Second case, \[{{\lambda }_{2}}=5.5\times {{10}^{-5}}\,\text{cm}\] \[\therefore \]      \[{{\lambda }_{1}}{{T}_{1}}={{\lambda }_{2}}{{T}_{2}}=\text{cosntant}\] \[11\times {{10}^{-5}}\times {{T}_{1}}=(5.5\times {{10}^{-5}})\times {{T}_{2}}\] Given,       \[{{T}_{1}}=M{{T}_{2}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[11\times {{10}^{-5}}\times n{{T}_{2}}=5.5\times {{10}^{-5}}\times {{T}_{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[n=\frac{5.5}{11}=0.5=\frac{1}{2}\]
