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. Remain unchanged
B. Halve
C. Double
D. Increase four times
Answer: Option B
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
A nucleus of mass number A and atomic number Z contains
A. Z protons and A-Z neutrons
B. A protons and Z neutrons
C. Z protons and A neutrons
D. A-Z protons and Z neutrons

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Atomic number Z = number of protons. Mass number A = protons + neutrons. So neutrons = A - Z. Electrons = Z in neutral atom. Isotopes same Z, different N.

Atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1.013×10⁵ Pa. Equivalent height of mercury column (density 13600 kg/m³, g=9.8) is
A. 0.76 cm
B. 7.6 m
C. 13.6 m
D. 0.76 m

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
P = ρgh => h = P/(ρg) = 1.013×10⁵/(13600×9.8) ≈ 0.76 m = 76 cm.
