The temperature of sun is 5500 K and it emits maximum intensity radiation in the yellow region`(5.5 xx10^(-7)m)`. The maximum radiation from a furnace occurs at wavelength `11 xx 10^(-7)m` The temperature of furnace is

A

1125 K

B

2750 K

C

5500 K

D

11000 K

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`lambda_(m1)T`=constant
`implies lambda_(m1)T_1=lambda_(m2)T_2`
`implies 5.5 xx 10^(-7)xx5500=11xx10^(-7)xxT_2`
`implies T_2=550xx 5=2750K`
