    If\[{{\lambda }_{m}}\]denotes the wavelength at which the radiative emission from a black body at a temperature T K is maximum, then

    A)  \[{{\lambda }_{m}}\propto {{T}^{4}}\]

    B) \[{{\lambda }_{m}}\]is independent of T

    C)  \[{{\lambda }_{m}}\propto T\]

    D)  \[{{\lambda }_{m}}\propto {{T}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     According to Wiens displacement law, the wavelength\[({{\lambda }_{m}})\]of maximum intensity of emission of black body radiation is inversely proportional to absolute temperature (T) of the black body. Therefore, Wiens law is \[{{\lambda }_{m}}T=constant\] Or \[{{\lambda }_{m}}=\frac{constant}{T}\] Or \[{{\lambda }_{m}}\propto \frac{1}{T}\] Or \[{{\lambda }_{m}}\propto {{T}^{-1}}\]
