For a body emitting blackbody radiation,the total power emitted is proportional to the 4th power of the body's absolute temperature: (T in kelvins)
and the wavelength of the emitted EM radiation that has the highest intensity is inversely proportional to the body's absolute temperature according to: ( in meters,T in kelvins)
Assume an object is emitting blackbody radiation.
-If the Kelvin temperature of a body is doubled,the wavelength of the most intense light is double the wavelength originally of the most intense light.

Question

For a body emitting blackbody radiation,the total power emitted is proportional to the 4th power of the body's absolute temperature:  (T in kelvins)
and the wavelength of the emitted EM radiation that has the highest intensity is inversely proportional to the body's absolute temperature according to:  (  in meters,T in kelvins)
Assume an object is emitting blackbody radiation.
-If the Kelvin temperature of a body is doubled,the wavelength of the most intense light is double the wavelength originally of the most intense light.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the second law mentioned, the wavelength of the most intense light is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature. So, if the temperature is doubled, the inverse proportionality would lead to halving of the wavelength, not doubling. Hence, the statement is false.

For a Body Emitting Blackbody Radiation,the Total Power Emitted Is
