According to Wien's Displacement Law, if the absolute temperature of a radiating black body is doubled, the wavelength corresponding to maximum spectral emissive power will: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

According to Wien's Displacement Law, if the absolute temperature of a radiating black body is doubled, the wavelength corresponding to maximum spectral emissive power will:
A. Increase four times
B. Remain unchanged
C. Halve
D. Double
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Wien's Displacement Law states that the wavelength at which a black body emits maximum radiation (lambda_m) is inversely proportional to its absolute temperature (T). lambda_m * T = b (Wien's constant). If the temperature T is doubled (2T), the peak wavelength lambda_m must strictly halve to maintain the constant product.

Question #1
Pendulum on planet with g' = 4g. Period becomes:
A. Four times
B. Same
C. Half
D. Double

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
T ∝ 1/√g. If g' = 4g, T' = T/√4 = T/2. Higher gravity ⇒ faster oscillations. Memory aid: 'Pendulum: T ∝ 1/√g; 4× gravity ⇒ half period'. Oscillations proportionality frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #2
Beta rays emitted by radioactive substances are essentially:
A. Helium nuclei
B. High-speed electrons
C. Neutrons
D. Electromagnetic waves

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
During beta decay, a neutron in an unstable nucleus transforms into a proton and an electron. The proton remains in the nucleus, but the electron is ejected at high speed. These ejected, high-energy electrons are called beta rays (or beta particles). Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves, and alpha particles are helium nuclei.
