Power radiated by a black body at temperature T₁ is P and it radiates maximum energy at a wavelength ₁ . If the temperature of the black body is changed from T₁ to T₂ , it radiates maximum energy at a wavelength ₁ 2 . The power radiated at T₂ is
Options
- A2 P
- B4 P
- C8 P
- D16 P
Correct answer
D. 16 P
Step-by-step solution
We have, P T^4 1 ^4 P₁ P₂ = ( ₂ ₁ )^4 aligned P₁ P₂ & = 1 16 P₂ & =16 P₁=16 P aligned
