The following graph represents the radiant power versus wavelength of a black body. The area under the curve represents:

  • A
    the maximum wavelength emitted by the object.
  • B
    the minimum wavelength emitted by the object.
  • C
    the total energy emitted per unit time by the black body at some particular wavelength.
  • D
    the total energy emitted per unit time per unit area by the black body at all wavelengths.

Two stars $A$ and $B$ radiate maximum energy at the wavelengths of $360 \ nm$ and $480 \ nm$ respectively. Then the ratio of the surface temperatures of $A$ and $B$ is

$A$ black body is at a temperature of $5780 \text{ K}$. The energy of radiation emitted by the body at wavelength $300 \text{ nm}$ is $U_1$, at wavelength $500 \text{ nm}$ is $U_2$, and at wavelength $900 \text{ nm}$ is $U_3$. Wien's constant $b = 2.89 \times 10^6 \text{ nm K}$. This shows that:

$A$ star which appears blue will be

$A$ black body radiates maximum energy at wavelength $\lambda$ and its emissive power is $E$. Now,due to a change in the temperature of that body,it radiates maximum energy at wavelength $\frac{2 \lambda}{3}$. At that temperature,the emissive power is:
