The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the relationship between the wavelength of radiation corresponding to maximum intensity (\( \lambda_m \)) and temperature (\( T \)), we can use Wien's Displacement Law. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Wien's Displacement Law**: Wien's Displacement Law states that the wavelength (\( \lambda_m \)) at which the intensity of radiation is maximum for a black body is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature (\( T \)). The law can be mathematically expressed as: \[ \lambda_m \cdot T = b \] where \( b \) is Wien's constant. 2. **Rearranging the Equation**: From the equation \( \lambda_m \cdot T = b \), we can express \( \lambda_m \) in terms of \( T \): \[ \lambda_m = \frac{b}{T} \] 3. **Analyzing the Relationship**: From the equation \( \lambda_m = \frac{b}{T} \), we can see that as the temperature \( T \) increases, the wavelength \( \lambda_m \) decreases. This indicates that \( \lambda_m \) is inversely proportional to \( T \). 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct relationship between \( \lambda_m \) and \( T \) is that \( \lambda_m \) decreases as \( T \) increases. 5. **Identify the Correct Option**: Based on the analysis, the correct option is the one that states that \( \lambda_m \) decreases with increasing temperature \( T \). ### Final Answer: The correct representation of the relationship between \( \lambda_m \) and \( T \) is that \( \lambda_m \) decreases as \( T \) increases. ---
