A black body is at a temperature of 5760K. The energy of radiation emitted by the body at wavelength 250nm is U1, at wavelength 500nm is U2 and that at 1000nm is U3. Wien's constant, b=2.88×10⁶nmK. Which of the following is correct?
U1=0
U1>U2
U3=0
U2>U1
Solution:
Maximum amount of emitted radiation corresponding to λm=bT ⇒ λm=2.88×10⁶nmK/5760K=500 nm From the graph we can see that U1U3
