A block body at $1227^{\circ}\text{C}$ emits radiations with maximum intensity at a wavelength of $5000\text{ \AA}$. If the temperature of the body is increased by $1000^{\circ}\text{C}$, the maximum intensity will be observed at (2006)
$3000\text{ \AA}$
$4000\text{ \AA}$
$5000\text{ \AA}$
$6000\text{ \AA}$

Solution:

From Wien's displacement law, $\lambda_m T = \text{constant}$. $\lambda_1 T_1 = \lambda_2 T_2 \Rightarrow 5000 \times (1227+273) = \lambda_2 \times (1227+1000+273) \Rightarrow \lambda_2 = \frac{5000 \times 1500}{2500} = 3000\text{ \AA}$.
