The wavelength of the radiation emitted by a body depends upon

A

The nature of the surface

B

the area of the surface

C

the temperature of the surface

D

all of the above factors.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

According to Wien.s displacement law, as the temperature of a black body increases, the maximum intensity of emission shifts (or is displaced) towards shorter wavelengths.
`lambda_(m)T=b=constant`
where `lambda_(m)` is the wavelength at which maximum cmission take place at absolute temperature T
