Working principle of radiation pyrometer is based on the __________________?

Correct answer: C. Stefan Boltzmann law

  • A. Wien's law
  • B. Kirchoff's law
  • C. Stefan Boltzmann law
  • D. Seebeck effect

Explanation

A radiation pyrometer determines temperature from the thermal radiation emitted by a hot body, commonly using the Stefan-Boltzmann relation between total radiation and absolute temperature. Wien's law is more specifically associated with locating the wavelength of maximum emission.
