A black body at $1227^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ emits radiations with maximum intensity at a wavelength of $5000 Å$. If the temperature of the body is increased by $1000^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, the maximum intensity will be observed at:
  1. $3000 Å$
  2. $4000 Å$
  3. $5000 Å$
  4. $6000 Å$

Solution

By wiens displacement law $\lambda_m$ $T=B$ UCwe have, $\begin{aligned} (5000)(1500) & =\lambda_m^{\prime}(1500+1000) \\ \Rightarrow \quad \lambda_m^{\prime} & =\frac{5000 \times 1500}{2500} \\ & =3000 Å . \end{aligned}$ ~
