Calculate the wavelength at which a hot body radiates maximum energy if its surface temperature is `3200^(@)`C. Wien's constant 0.00289 mK.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the wavelength at which a hot body radiates maximum energy, we can use Wien's Displacement Law. The law states that the wavelength corresponding to maximum intensity (λ_max) is inversely proportional to the temperature (T) of the body. The relationship can be expressed mathematically as: \[ \lambda_{max} \cdot T = b \] where \( b \) is Wien's constant, which is given as \( 0.00289 \, m \cdot K \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: ...
