The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use Wien's Displacement Law, which states that the wavelength at which the radiation emitted by a black body is maximum (λ_max) is inversely proportional to its temperature (T). The formula is given by: \[ \lambda_{max} \cdot T = b \] Where: - \( \lambda_{max} \) is the wavelength at maximum emission, - \( T \) is the absolute temperature in Kelvin, - \( b \) is Wien's constant. Given: - Temperature \( T = 2618 \, K \) - Wien's constant \( b = 2.88 \times 10^6 \, nm \cdot K \) ### Step 1: Calculate the wavelength at maximum emission (λ_max) Using the formula: \[ \lambda_{max} = \frac{b}{T} \] Substituting the values: \[ \lambda_{max} = \frac{2.88 \times 10^6 \, nm \cdot K}{2618 \, K} \] Calculating this gives: \[ \lambda_{max} \approx 1100 \, nm \] ### Step 2: Analyze the given ranges of wavelengths The problem states the following ranges: - \( U_a \) for wavelengths between 599 nm and 600 nm, - \( U_b \) for wavelengths between 1099 nm and 1100 nm, - \( U_c \) for wavelengths between 1599 nm and 1600 nm. ### Step 3: Compare the values of \( U_a \), \( U_b \), and \( U_c \) Since \( λ_{max} \) is approximately 1100 nm, we can conclude: - The range for \( U_b \) (1099 nm to 1100 nm) is where the maximum radiation occurs. - The range for \( U_a \) (599 nm to 600 nm) is much lower than \( λ_{max} \). - The range for \( U_c \) (1599 nm to 1600 nm) is higher than \( λ_{max} \). ### Step 4: Determine the relationships between \( U_a \), \( U_b \), and \( U_c \) 1. Since \( U_b \) is at the maximum wavelength, it will emit more radiation than both \( U_a \) and \( U_c \). 2. \( U_a \) will have some radiation since it is not zero, but it will be less than \( U_b \). 3. \( U_c \) will also have some radiation, but it will be less than \( U_b \) because it is further from the maximum wavelength. ### Conclusion From our analysis, we can conclude: - \( U_a \) is not equal to 0 (there will be some radiation). - \( U_c \) is also not equal to 0 (there will be some radiation). - \( U_b \) is greater than both \( U_a \) and \( U_c \). ### Final Relationships: - \( U_b > U_a \) - \( U_b > U_c \)

To solve the problem, we will use Wien's Displacement Law, which states that the wavelength at which the radiation emitted by a black body is maximum (λ_max) is inversely proportional to its temperature (T). The formula is given by: \[ \lambda_{max} \cdot T = b \] Where: - \( \lambda_{max} \) is the wavelength at maximum emission, ...
