The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use Wien's Law, which relates the temperature of a black body to the wavelength at which it emits the maximum energy. The steps are as follows: ### Step 1: Understand Wien's Law Wien's Law states that the wavelength at which the emission of a black body spectrum is maximized (λ_max) is inversely proportional to the temperature (T) of the black body. This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ \lambda_{max} \cdot T = b \] where \( b \) is Wien's constant. ### Step 2: Calculate λ_max for the given temperature Given: - Temperature \( T = 3000 \, K \) - Wien's constant \( b = 2.88 \times 10^{-3} \, m \cdot K \) We can rearrange the equation to find \( \lambda_{max} \): \[ \lambda_{max} = \frac{b}{T} \] Substituting the values: \[ \lambda_{max} = \frac{2.88 \times 10^{-3} \, m \cdot K}{3000 \, K} \] ### Step 3: Convert the wavelength to Angstroms First, calculate \( \lambda_{max} \): \[ \lambda_{max} = \frac{2.88 \times 10^{-3}}{3000} = 9.6 \times 10^{-7} \, m \] Now convert meters to Angstroms (1 m = \( 10^{10} \, Å \)): \[ \lambda_{max} = 9.6 \times 10^{-7} \, m \times 10^{10} \, Å/m = 9600 \, Å \] ### Step 4: Determine the energy distribution Now we compare \( \lambda_{max} \) with the given wavelength ranges: - \( u_1 \): 8000 Å to 9000 Å - \( u_2 \): 9000 Å to 10000 Å - \( u_3 \): 10000 Å to 11000 Å Since \( \lambda_{max} = 9600 \, Å \), it falls within the range of \( u_2 \). ### Step 5: Compare the energy emitted in each range According to Wien's Law, since \( \lambda_{max} \) is in the range of \( u_2 \), we can conclude: - The energy emitted in the range \( u_2 \) (which includes \( \lambda_{max} \)) is greater than that emitted in the ranges \( u_1 \) and \( u_3 \). Thus, we can write: \[ u_2 > u_1 \quad \text{and} \quad u_2 > u_3 \] ### Conclusion The correct relationship is: \[ u_2 > u_1 \quad \text{and} \quad u_2 > u_3 \] Thus, the correct option is C. ---
