Question: The maximum energy in thermal radiation from a source occurs at the wavelength 4000Å. The effective temperature of the source is

[AMU (Engg.) 1999]

Options:

A) $ 7325,K $

B) $ 80000K $

C) $ 10^{4},K $

D) $ 10^{6},K $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ {\lambda _{m}}=\frac{b}{T}\Rightarrow T=\frac{b}{{\lambda _{m}}}=\frac{2.93\times {{10}^{-3}}}{4000\times {{10}^{-10}}}=7325\ K $
