A piece of iron is heated in a flame. It first become dull red then becomes reddish yellow and finally turns to white hot. The correct explanation for the above observation is possible by using:-
A piece of iron is heated in a flame. It first become dull red then becomes reddish yellow and finally turns to white hot. The correct explanation for the above observation is possible by using:-

Option A Newton’s law of cooling
Option B Stefan’s law
Option C Wien’s law
Option D Kirchhoff’s law

Solution:

The correct option is Option C.

Temperature and wavelength are connected, according to Wien’s displacement law λmT = constant. As a result, it can accurately respond to the previous observation. The black body radiation curve for different temperatures peaks at a wavelength that is inversely proportional to the temperature, according to Wien’s displacement law.
