The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use Wien's Displacement Law, which states that the wavelength corresponding to the maximum intensity of radiation emitted by a black body is inversely proportional to its temperature. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Convert Initial Temperature to Kelvin**: - The initial temperature given is \( T_1 = 1227^\circ C \). - To convert Celsius to Kelvin, we use the formula: \[ T(K) = T(°C) + 273 \] - Therefore, \[ T_1 = 1227 + 273 = 1500 \, K \] 2. **Calculate the New Temperature**: - The temperature is increased by \( 1000^\circ C \). - The new temperature \( T_2 \) is: \[ T_2 = 1227 + 1000 = 2227^\circ C \] - Convert this to Kelvin: \[ T_2 = 2227 + 273 = 2500 \, K \] 3. **Use Wien's Displacement Law**: - According to Wien's Displacement Law: \[ \lambda_{m1} \cdot T_1 = \lambda_{m2} \cdot T_2 \] - Rearranging gives: \[ \lambda_{m2} = \lambda_{m1} \cdot \frac{T_1}{T_2} \] 4. **Substitute Known Values**: - We know: - \( \lambda_{m1} = 5000 \, \text{Å} \) - \( T_1 = 1500 \, K \) - \( T_2 = 2500 \, K \) - Substitute these values into the equation: \[ \lambda_{m2} = 5000 \cdot \frac{1500}{2500} \] 5. **Simplify the Calculation**: - Simplifying the fraction: \[ \frac{1500}{2500} = \frac{3}{5} \] - Therefore: \[ \lambda_{m2} = 5000 \cdot \frac{3}{5} = 3000 \, \text{Å} \] ### Final Answer: The wavelength corresponding to the maximum intensity at the new temperature is \( \lambda_{m2} = 3000 \, \text{Å} \). ---
