Explain why: An optical pyrometer (for measuring high temperature) calibrated for an ideal black body radiation gives too low value for the temperature of a red hot iron piece in the open, but gives a correct value for the temperature when the same piece is in the furnace.

A point source S emitting light of wavelength 600 nm is placed at a very small height h above a flat reflecting surface AB [Fig.6.07].The intensity of the reflected light is 36% of the incident intensity.Interfrerence fringes are observed on a screen placed parallel to the reflecting surface at a very large distance D from it. If the intensity t pint P corresponds to a maximum,calculate the minimum distance through which the reflecting surface AB sould be shifted so that the intensity at P again becomes maximum.

A star like the sun has several bodies moving around it at different distances. Consider that all of them are moving in circular orbits. Let r be the distance of the body frm the centre of the star and let its linear velocity be v, angular velocity omega , kinetic energy K, gravitational potential energy U, total energy E and angular momentum p. As the radius r of the orbit increases, determine which of the above quantities increase and which one decrease.

If lambda _m is the wavelentgh corresponding to maximum radiation for a body at temperature T,then which of the following relations is true?

According to Stefan's law of radiation, a black body radiates energy sigmaT^4 from its unit surface area every second where T is the surface temperature of the black body and sigma = 5.67 xx 10^-8 W//m^2 K^4 is known as Stefan's constant. A nuclear weapon may be thought of as a ball of radius 0.5 m. When detonated, it reaches temperature of 10^6 K and can be treated as a black body. Estimate the power it radiates

The energy levels of an atom are as shown in Fig.1.23 Which transition corresponds to emission of radiation of maximum wavelength? .

Wiens Law (lambda_(m)) corresponding to which energy emitted per sec per unit area by a perfectly black body (surface) is maximum is inversly proportional to the absolute temp (T) of the black body . lambda_(m)prop(1)/(T)orlambda_(m)=(b)/(T) Where b is a constant of proportionality and is called Wein's constant b=2.898xx10^(-3)mK . Is the statement True?
