The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correct statement about thermal radiations emitted by a black body, we will analyze each of the given options based on our understanding of black body radiation and Planck's law. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Black Body Radiation**: - A black body is an idealized physical object that absorbs all incident electromagnetic radiation, regardless of frequency or angle of incidence. It also emits radiation in a characteristic spectrum that depends only on its temperature. 2. **Analyzing Option A**: - Option A states: "At a given temperature, the energy is distributed non-uniformly among different wavelengths." - This is true. The spectral distribution of radiation emitted by a black body is not uniform; it varies with wavelength according to Planck's law. Therefore, this statement is correct. 3. **Analyzing Option B**: - Option B states: "As temperature of the body increases, the energy content of all wavelengths decreases." - This is incorrect. According to Planck's law, as the temperature of a black body increases, the total energy emitted increases, and the peak of the emission spectrum shifts to shorter wavelengths (Wien's displacement law). Thus, this statement is false. 4. **Analyzing Option C**: - Option C states: "The product of E_lambda (spectral energy) with dλ (the spectral width) for all equal Δλ' is the same." - This is also incorrect. The spectral energy E_lambda varies with wavelength, and thus the product E_lambda * dλ will not be the same for all wavelengths. Therefore, this statement is false. 5. **Analyzing Option D**: - Option D states: "The thermal radiation emitted by a hot body is a discrete spectrum." - This is incorrect. The radiation emitted by a black body is continuous across a range of wavelengths, not discrete. Hence, this statement is false. 6. **Conclusion**: - After analyzing all options, we find that only Option A is correct. Therefore, the correct statement with respect to thermal radiation emitted by a black body is: - **Correct Answer: Option A**.
