The correct answer is: 5.67×108Wm-2
Given, maximum wavelength,
λm=289.8nm=28.98×10-9m
=2898×10-10m
Stefan’s constant, σ=5.67×10-8Wm-2K-4
Wien’s constant, b = 2898 μmk = 2898 ×10-6mK
According to Wien’s displacement law, the maximum wavelength is given by
λm=bTT=bλm …. (i)
Substituting given values in Eq. (i), we get
T=2898×10-62898×10-10=104K …. (ii)
According to Stefan’s law the energy radiated from a source is given by
E=σAeT4 …. (iii)
Where, A = area of source
e = emissivity (value between 0 to 1)
The intensity of radiations emitted is equal to energy radiated from a given surface area, i.e.,
l=EA=σeT4 [From Eq.(iii)]
As e is very small , so
l=σT4
Substituting the value of T from Eq.(ii) in Eq.(iv), we get
l=σ104=5.67×10-8×1016
σ=5.67×10-8given
=5.67×108Wm-2
