JEE Advanced 2023 · Paper 1, Physics question 15

Match the temperature of a black body given in List-I with an appropriate statement in List-II, and choose the correct option.

[Given: Wien's constant as 2.9×10−32.9\times10^{-3} m-K and hce=1.24×10−6\dfrac{hc}{e} = 1.24\times10^{-6} V-m]

List-I

  • P
    2000 K
  • Q
    3000 K
  • R
    5000 K
  • S
    10000 K

List-II

  • 1
    The radiation at peak wavelength can lead to emission of photoelectrons from a metal of work function 4 eV.
  • 2
    The radiation at peak wavelength is visible to human eye.
  • 3
    The radiation at peak emission wavelength will result in the widest central maximum of a single slit diffraction.
  • 4
    The power emitted per unit area is 1/16 of that emitted by a blackbody at temperature 6000 K.
  • 5
    The radiation at peak emission wavelength can be used to image human bones.
Choose one option
Answer and worked solution

Official answer: C

Peak wavelengths from λm=2.9×10−3T\lambda_m=\dfrac{2.9\times10^{-3}}{T}:

T λm\lambda_m Photon energy, 1240/λm1240/\lambda_m (eV, λm\lambda_m in nm)
2000 K 1450 nm (infrared) 0.86 eV
3000 K 967 nm 1.28 eV
5000 K 580 nm (visible) 2.14 eV
10000 K 290 nm (UV) 4.28 eV

Matching.

  • (P) 2000 K has the longest wavelength, so the widest central maximum → 3.
  • (Q) 3000 K: (3000/6000)4=116(3000/6000)^4=\frac1{16} by Stefan's law → 4.
  • (R) 5000 K peaks in the visible → 2.
  • (S) 10000 K: 4.284.28 eV exceeds the 4 eV work function → 1.

No temperature peaks in the X-ray range, so (5) is unused.

P→3, Q→4, R→2, S→1.
