(b) A sodium vapor lamp is placed at the center of a large sphere that absorbs all the light reaching it. The rate at which the lamp emits energy is 80 W; assume that the emission is entirely at a wavelength of 380 nm. Evaluate the rate at which the photon is absorbed by the lamp. Take, Planck Constant h = 6.63 x 10-34 J.S Speed of light c = 3.00 x 108m/s
(iv) : Radiations are emitted by a blackbody at 1211 ℃ peaking at wavelength of 5011 Å. Find the wavelength at which maximum intensity is observed, when the temperature of the body is increased by 1011 ℃.
