Flash light equipped with a new set of batteries, produces bright white light. As the batteries wear out

A

the light intensity gets reduced with no change in its colour

B

colour changes to red and also intensity gets reduced

C

light colour changes first to yellow and then red with no change in intensity

D

it stops working suddenly while giving white light

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

As batteries wear out ,temperature of filament of flash light attains lesser value ,therefore intensity of radiation reduces. Also dominating wavelength `(lambda_(m))` in spectrum , which is the red colour , increases.
