- The wavelength at which the peak of intensity of blackbody radiation occurs
A.
Increases with increase in temperature |
B.
Decreases with increase in temperature |
C.
Is the same at all temperatures |
D.
Does not follow any pattern as temperature changes |
Answer : Option B
Explanation :
According to Wien’s displacement law, when the temperature of a blackbody radiator increases, the overall radiated energy increases. Wavelength of maximum emission from a blackbody is inversely proportional to its temperature. Shorter-wavelength (higher-frequency) light corresponds to higher-energy photons.
