Q.

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» B. decreases with increase in temperature
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 higherenergy photons.
