Fill in the blanks : Surface temperature of the sun is ………..

A black body emits radiations of maximum intensity at a wavelength of 5000 A, when the temperature of the body is 1227° C. If the temperature of the body is increased by 2227 °C, the maximum intensity of emitted radiation would be observed at

The temperature at the surface of the sun is about 6400 °C. What is this temperature in kelvin scale?

Analysis of the sun's spectrum shows that the wave length of maximum intensity is 4750 A^@ . Taking Wien's constant as 2.9 xx 10^-3 mk , find the surface temperature of the sun.

The ratio of the wavelength of emission corresponding to the maximum emission in the spectrum of a black body heated to temperatures 1000 K and 2000 K respectively is

The power radiated by a black body is P, and it radiates maximum energy around the wavelength lambda_(0) . If the temperature of the black body is now changed so that it radiates maximum energy around a wavelength 3lambda_(0)//4 , the power radiated by it will increase by a factor of

The intensity of radiation emitted by the sun has its maximum value at a wavelength of 510 nm and that emitted by the North star has the maximum value at 350 nm. If these stars behave like black bodies, then the ratio of the surface temperatures of the sun and the north star is

On observing light from three different stars P , Q and R , it was found that intensity of violet colour is maximum in the spectrum of P , the intensity of green colour is maximum in the spectrum of R and the intensity of red colour is maximum in the spectrum of Q . if T_(P) , T_(Q) and T_(R) are respective absolute temperature of P , Q and R . then it can be concluded from the above observation that

Assuming that the temperature at the surface of the Sun is 6000 K, find out the size of a virtual star (in terms of the size of Sun) whose surface temperature is 3000 K and the power radiated by the virtual star is 25 times the power radiated by the Sun. Treat both, the Sun and virtual star as a blackbody.
