NEET2005PhysicsThermal Properties of MatterActual
Assertion : For higher temperatures the peak emission wavelength of a black body shifts to lower wavelengths. Reason : Peak emission wavelengths of a blackbody is proportional to the fourth-power of temperature.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
Step-by-step solution
Wien's relation gives at maximum intensity, _m T= constant Stefan's law, T^4= Intensity of emission of a particular wavelength does not explains the shift of _m with absolute temperature.
