The maximum energy in the thermal radiation from a hot source occurs at a wavelength of $11 \times 10^{-5} \ cm$. According to Wien's law, the temperature of the source (on Kelvin scale) will be $n$ times the temperature of another source (on Kelvin scale) for which the wavelength at maximum energy is $5.5 \times 10^{-5} \ cm$. The value of $n$ is

Four pieces of iron heated in a furnace to different temperatures show different colours listed below. Which one has the highest temperature?

The spectral emissive power $E_\lambda$ for a body at temperature $T_1$ is plotted against the wavelength and the area under the curve is found to be $A$. At a different temperature $T_2$,the area is found to be $9A$. Then $\lambda_1/\lambda_2 =$

$A$ black body radiates power $P$ and maximum energy is radiated by it at a wavelength $\lambda_0$. The temperature of the black body is now changed such that it radiates maximum energy at the wavelength $\frac{\lambda_0}{4}$. The power radiated by it at the new temperature is (in $P$)

Use the formula $\lambda_{m} T = 0.29 \; cm \cdot K$ to obtain the characteristic temperature ranges for different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. What do the numbers that you obtain tell you?
