If the temperature of the black body is doubled then the emitted energy from it will be increased:

Correct answer: D. Sixteen times

  • A. Doubled
  • B. Four times
  • C. Eight times
  • D. Sixteen times

Explanation

If the temperature of a blackbody is doubled, then the emitted energy from it will be increased by a factor of 16. This is because the intensity of blackbody radiation is proportional to the fourth power of the temperature.

About Quantum Theory and Radiation

Quantum theory treats electromagnetic radiation as packets of energy called photons, with energy proportional to frequency through E equals hf. The topic covers Planck's hypothesis, photon momentum, the photoelectric effect, threshold frequency, work function and wave particle duality, distinguishing quantised energy exchange from classical continuous radiation.
