If the temperature of the sun becomes twice its present temperature, then:
1. | Radiated energy would be predominantly in the infrared range. |
2. | Radiated energy would be primarily in the ultraviolet range. |
3. | Radiated energy would be predominantly in the X-ray region |
4. | Radiated energy would become twice as strong as it is now. |
A black body has a maximum wavelength at a temperature of 2000 K. Its corresponding wavelength at temperatures of 3000 K will be:
1. | \({3 \over 2} \lambda_m\) | 2. | \({2 \over 3} \lambda_m\) |
3. | \({4 \over 9} \lambda_m\) | 4. | \({9 \over 4} \lambda_m\) |
The temperature of an object is \(400^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). The temperature of the surroundings may be assumed to be negligible. What temperature would cause the energy to radiate twice as quickly? (Given, \(2^{\frac{1}{4}} \approx 1.18\))
1. \(200^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
2. 200 K
3. \(800^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)
4. 800 K
If the temperature of the body is increased from \(-73^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) to \(327^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\), then the ratio of energy emitted per second in both cases is:

2. 1 : 81
3. 1 : 27
4. 1 : 9
If the sun’s surface radiates heat at \(6.3\times 10^{7}~\text{Wm}^{-2}\) then the temperature of the sun, assuming it to be a black body, will be:

1. \(5.8\times 10^{3}~\text{K}\)
2. \(8.5\times 10^{3}~\text{K}\)
3. \(3.5\times 10^{8}~\text{K}\)
4. \(5.3\times 10^{8}~\text{K}\)

One end of a copper rod of uniform cross-section and of length 3.1 m is kept in contact with ice, and the other end with water at \(100^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). At what point along its length should a temperature of \(200^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) be maintained so that in steady-state, the mass of ice melting be equal to that of the steam produced in the same interval time?

The energy distribution E with the wavelength for the black body radiation at temperature T Kelvin is shown in the figure. As the temperature is increased the maxima will:

2. | Rise high but will not shift |
3. | Shift towards right and become higher |
4. | Shift towards left and the curve will become broader |
