A black body radiates maximum energy at wavelength ' $\lambda$ ' and its emissive power is $E$. Now due to change in temperature of that body, it radiates maximum energy at wavelength $\frac{2 \lambda}{3}$. At that temperature emissive power is
  1. $\frac{51 \mathrm{E}}{8}$
  2. $\frac{81 \mathrm{E}}{16}$
  3. $\frac{61 \mathrm{E}}{27}$
  4. $\frac{71 \mathrm{E}}{19}$

Solution

From Wien's Displacement law, $\lambda_{\max }=\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{T}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{T}=\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\lambda_{\max }}$ From Stefan-Boltzmann law $\mathrm{E}=\sigma \mathrm{T}^4=\sigma\left(\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\lambda_{\max }}\right)^4$ Let the new emissive power be $\mathrm{E}^{\prime}$. $\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad E^{\prime} & =\sigma\left(\frac{b}{\frac{2 \lambda_{\max }}{3}}\right)^4 \\ \mathrm{E}^{\prime} & =\frac{81}{16} \mathrm{E} \end{aligned}$
