Watering is vital for gardening as it supplies plants with the necessary moisture for processes like photosynthesis and nutrient uptake. Adequate watering promotes healthy root growth and ensures the plant remains hydrated, preventing wilting and stress. Proper watering schedules help maintain the soil’s moisture balance, supporting consistent growth and improving crop quality. Overwatering or underwatering should be avoided to prevent root rot or dehydration.

Wien's Displacement Law states that the wavelength (λ_max) at which the intensity of radiation emitted by a black body is maximum is inversely proportional to its absolute temperature (T).

Wien’s Displacement Law states that the wavelength (λ_max) at which the intensity of radiation emitted by a black body is maximum is inversely proportional to its absolute temperature (T). In other words, as the temperature of the black body increases, the wavelength at which it emits the most radiation decreases.
Mathematically, Wien’s Displacement Law is given as:
λ_max = b / T
where:
– λ_max is the wavelength at which the emission intensity is maximum,
– T is the absolute temperature of the black body in Kelvin (K),
– b is Wien’s displacement constant, approximately 2.898 × 10⁻³ m·K.
Illustration:
– Object at 300 K: Using Wien’s Displacement Law, we calculate the wavelength where its radiation peaks.
λ_max = (2.898 × 10⁻³) / 300 = 9.66 μm
This is in the infrared region.
– Object at 600 K: The peak wavelength of emission is twice the object at 300 K since the temperature has an inverse proportionality to peak wavelength.
λ_max = (2.898 × 10⁻³) / 600 = 4.83 μm
It is still within the infrared, but shorter now.
Relevance of Wien’s Displacement Law:
1. Temperature Determination from Radiation:
Temperature of any object could be determined by the peak wavelength of emitted radiation under the law. It finds many applications in astrophysics, for example, to estimate the temperature of stars as a function of the color of stars. Therefore, it gives a color equivalent estimation.
2. Color of Stars
According to Wien’s law, hotter stars emit more radiation at shorter wavelengths, causing them to appear bluer, and cooler stars emit at longer wavelengths, making them appear redder.
3. Thermal Radiation Understanding:
Wien’s law helps us understand the nature of thermal radiation and how temperature affects the radiation emitted by objects, which is vital in many fields, including climatology and energy studies.
4. Temperature Measurement Applications: The law is applied in infrared thermometry, which allows objects to be measured for temperature without direct contact. This is found in industrial, medical, and scientific applications.

Derive Newton’s law of cooling from Stefan’s law.
The power radiated by a black body is proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature: P = σ A T⁴ where: - P: Power radiated - σ: Stefan-Boltzmann constant - A: Surface area of the body - T: Absolute temperature of the body If the body is in an environment at temperature Tₑ, the net radRead more
The power radiated by a black body is proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature:
P = σ A T⁴
where:
– P: Power radiated
– σ: Stefan-Boltzmann constant
– A: Surface area of the body
– T: Absolute temperature of the body
If the body is in an environment at temperature Tₑ, the net radiated power becomes:
P_net = σ A (T⁴ – Tₑ⁴)
Approximation for Small Temperature Differences:
For T ≈ Tₑ, expand T⁴ – Tₑ⁴ using the binomial approximation:
T⁴ – Tₑ⁴ ≈ 4 Tₑ³ (T – Tₑ)
Substituting into the net power equation:
P_net = σ A ⋅ 4 Tₑ³ (T – Tₑ)
Regarding Newton’s Law of Cooling:
Newton’s Law of Cooling reads: \dT/dt = -k (T – Tₑ) where k is a proportionality constant.
In the above equation:
P_net = σ A ⋅ 4 Tₑ³ (T – Tₑ)
If P_net is proportional to the rate of temperature change dT/dt:
k = (σ A ⋅ 4 Tₑ³) / (m c) where:
– m: Mass of the body .
-c: Specific heat capacity .
Therefore, in the limiting situation where temperature difference is negligible, the Stefan-Boltzmann Law becomes the Newton’s Law of Cooling.
