Solar radiation emitted by the sun resembles that emitted by a black body at a temperature of $6000\,K$. Maximum intensity is emitted at a wavelength of about $4800\,\mathring{A}$. If the sun was cooled down from $6000\,K$ to $3000\,K$,then the peak intensity would occur at a wavelength of ........ $\mathring{A}$.

  • A
    $4800$
  • B

  • C
    $2400$
  • D

$Assertion :$ For higher temperature, the peak emission wavelength of a blackbody shifts to lower wavelengths.
$Reason :$ Peak emission wavelength of a blackbody is proportional to the fourth power of temperature.

The wavelength corresponding to the maximum energy emitted by a body at a certain temperature is ${\lambda _0}$. If the temperature of the body is increased such that the new maximum wavelength becomes $\frac{3{\lambda _0}}{4}$, then by what factor does the emissive power increase?

On investigation of light from three different stars $A, B$ and $C$, it was found that in the spectrum of $A$ the intensity of red colour is maximum, in $B$ the intensity of blue colour is maximum and in $C$ the intensity of yellow colour is maximum. From these observations, it can be concluded that
