A black body is at a temperature of 5760 K. The energy of radiation emitted by the body at wavelength 250 nm is U₁, at wavelength 500 nm is U₂ and that at 1000 nm is U₃. Wien’s constant, b = 2.88 × 10⁶ nmK. Which of the following is correct?
U₁ > U₂
U₂ > U₁
U₁ = 0
U₃ = 0
To solve this problem, we will use Wien's Displacement Law and the concept of black body radiation.Wien's Displacement Law is given by:where is the wavelength at which the emission is maximum, is the temperature, and is Wien's constant.Given:Knm KCalculate nmThis means the peak emission occurs at nm.Now, let's analyze the energy at different wavelengths:• At nm:This wavelength is shorter than so the energy is less than the peak.• At nm:This is the peak wavelength, so the energy is maximum.• At nm:This wavelength is longer than so the energy is less than the peak.Comparing and Therefore, the correct option is:Option 2:
