Question:
The wavelength of the radiation emitted by a body depends upon
The wavelength of the radiation emitted by a body depends upon
Updated On: Feb 23, 2024
- the nature of the surface
- the area of the surface
- the temperature of the surface
- all of the above factors
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
According to Wien's law
$\lambda \propto \frac{1}{T}$
i.e., it depends on the temperature of the surface

- The rate of emission of a perfectly black body at temperature \( 27^\circ C \) is \( E_1 \). If the temperature of the body is raised to \( 627^\circ C \), its rate of emission becomes \( E_2 \). The ratio of \( \frac{E_1}{E_2} \) is:

Concepts Used:
Radiation
Radiation is the energy or particles from a source that travels from one media to other. It travels through a medium after its emission from a source and is absorbed by matter.
Forms of Radiation:
- Particle Radiation includes the alpha (α), beta (β), and neutron radiations.
- Gravitational Radiation includes the radiation that takes the form of gravitational waves or as ripples in the curvature of space-time.
- Acoustic Radiation includes ultrasound, seismic and sound waves.
- Electromagnetic Radiation is inclusive of radio waves, gamma radiation (γ), x-rays, and visible light.
Types of Radiation:
- Ionizing Radiation - It carries more than 10 eV, that is enough to ionize atoms and molecules and break chemical bonds.
- Non-ionizing Radiation – It consists of alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma particles, whereas ionizing radiation consists of microwave radiation, infrared radiation and radio waves.
