The wavelength at which the peak of intensity of blackbody radiation Occurs – (1) increases with increase in temperature (2) decreases with increase in temperature (3) is the same at all temperatures (4) does not follow any pattern as temperature changes

1 Answer

Answer :

(2) decreases with increase in temperature Explanation: According to Wien's displacement law, when the temperature of a blackbody radiator increases, the overall radiated energy increases. Wavelength of maximum emission from a blackbody is inversely proportional to its temperature. Shorter-wavelength (higher-frequency) light corresponds to higherenergy photons.
