The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided in the question. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states that for higher temperatures, the peak emission wavelength of a black body shifts to lower wavelengths. This is based on Wien's Displacement Law, which 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. **Mathematical Representation:** \[ \lambda_{max} \propto \frac{1}{T} \] This means as the temperature (T) increases, the peak wavelength (λ_max) decreases. ### Step 2: Analyzing the Reason The reason states that the peak emission wavelength of a black body is proportional to the fourth power of temperature. This statement is incorrect. Instead, the peak emission wavelength is inversely proportional to the temperature, as stated above. **Correct Relationship:** \[ \lambda_{max} \cdot T = b \] where \( b \) is a constant (Wien's displacement constant). This indicates that as temperature increases, the peak wavelength decreases, not that it is proportional to the fourth power of temperature. ### Step 3: Conclusion From the analysis: - The assertion is **true**: Higher temperature leads to lower peak emission wavelength. - The reason is **false**: The peak emission wavelength is not proportional to the fourth power of temperature; it is inversely proportional to temperature. ### Final Answer: - **Assertion**: True - **Reason**: False
