Q.

Variation of radiant energy emitted by sun, filament of tungsten lamp and welding arc as a function of its wavelength is shown in figure. Which of the following option is the correct match                               [2005]

1 Sun-T3, tungsten filament-T1, welding arc-T2  
2 Sun-T2, tungsten filament-T1, welding arc-T3  
3 Sun-T3, tungsten filament-T2, welding arc-T1  
4 Sun-T1, tungsten filament-T2, welding arc-T3  

Ans.

(1)

According to Wein's displacement law

λm×T=constant

From the graph, λm3<λm2<λm1

  T3>T2>T1

The temperature of Sun -T3 is higher than that of welding arc T2 which in turn is greater than tungsten filament -T1.
