As the temperature of an object increases, the wavelength of the brightest light emitted _______


A. increases

B. decreases

C. remains the same

D. depends on the composition of the body

E. depends on the size of the body

F. not enough information to answer

Respuesta :

Answer:

option (B) decreases

Explanation:

According to the Wein's displacement law, the minimum wavelength of the radiated emission is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature of the body which emits radiation.

[tex]\lambda_{m}\alpha \frac{1}{T}[/tex]

Where, T is the absolute temperature of the body and λm is the minimum wavelength of heat radiated.

Here, as the temperature increases, the wavelength decreases.
