Assertion : Good absorbers of radiation ...

Assertion : Good absorbers of radiation are weak emitters.
Reason : Ratoi of emissivity and absorptivity is constant for all substances at any temperature for same wavelength radiation.

A

Both are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

Both are true but the reason is not correct explanation of the assertion.

C

Assertion is true, but the reason is false.

D

Both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Assertion is correct according to Kirchhoff.s law.
And `a=e`, then `(a)/(e)=` constant.
Hence, reason is correct explanation of assertion.

    According to Stefan's law of radiation, a black body radiates energy sigmaT^(4) from its unit surface area every second where T is the surface temperature of the black body and sigma=5.67xx10^(-8)W//m^(2)K^(4) is known as Stefan's constant. A nuclear weapon may be thought of as a ball of radius 0.5 m. When detonated, it reaches temperature of 10^(6) K and can be treated as a black body. If all this energy U is in the form of radiation, corresponding momentum is p=U/c . How much momentum per unit time does it impart on unit area at a distance of 1 km ?

    Assertion (A), Between any two given energy levels, the number of absorption transition is always less than number of emission transition. Reason (R ): Absorption transitiion start from the lowest energy lovely only and may end at any higher energy level. but emission transition may start from any higher energy level and end at any energy level below it.

    A metal is heated in a furnace where a sensor is kept above the metal surface to read the power radiated (P) by the metal. The sensor has scale that displays log_2,(P//P_0) , where P_0 is constant. When the metal surface is at a temperature of 487^@C , the sensor shows a value 1. Assume that the emissivity of the metallic surface remains constant. What is the value displayed by the sensor when the temperature of the metal surface is raised to 2767^@C ?

    Explain why : (a) a body with large reflectivity is a poor emitter (b) a brass tumbler feels much colder than a wooden tray on a chilly day (c) an optical pyrometer (for measuring high temperatures calibrated for an ideal black body radiation gives too low a value for the temperature of a red hot Iron plece in the open, but gives a correct value for the temperature when the same plece is in the fumace (d) the earth without its atmosphere would be inhospitably cold (e) heating systems based on circulation of steam are more efficient in warming a building than those based on circulation of hot water

    If radiation of all wavelengths from ultraviolet to infrared ispassed through hydrogen gas at room temperature absorption lines will be observed in the

    Assertion: Hydrogen atom consists of anly one electron but its emission spectrum has may lines. Reason: Only Lyman series is found in the absorption spectrum of hydrogen atom whereas in the emission spectrum, all the series are found.

    A sample of hydrogen gas is excited by means of a monochromatic radiation. In the subsequent emission spectrum, 10 differenet wavelengths are obtained, all of which have enrgies greater than or equal to the energy of the abosrbed radiation.
