Question

The earth radiates in the infra-red region of the spectrum. The spectrum is correctly given by (A) Rayleigh Jeans law (B) Planck’s law of radiation (C) Stefan’s law of radiation (D) Wien’s law

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Wien's law states that when the temperature of a black body radiator increases, the overall radiated energy increases and the peak of the radiation curve moves to shorter wavelengths.
