For an enclosure maintained at 2000K, the maximum radiation occurs at wavelength `lambda_m`. If the temperature is raised to 3000K, the peak will shift to

A

`0.5 lambda_m`

B

`lambda_m`

C

`2/3 lambda_m`

D

`3/2lambda_m`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`lambda_m prop 1/T`
`:. ((lambda_m)_2)/((lambda_m)_1) = T_1/T_2 = 2000/3000 = 2/3`
`:. (lambda_m)_2 = 2/3(lambda_m)_1`.
