MCQ
Certain substance emits only the wavelengths ${\lambda _1},\;{\lambda _2},\;{\lambda _3}$ and ${\lambda _4}$ when it is at a high temperature. When this substance is at a colder temperature, it will absorb only the following wavelengths
  • A
    ${\lambda _1}$
  • B
    ${\lambda _2}$
  • C
    ${\lambda _1}$ and ${\lambda _2}$
  • ${\lambda _1},\;{\lambda _2},\;{\lambda _3}$ and ${\lambda _4}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
${\lambda _1},\;{\lambda _2},\;{\lambda _3}$ and ${\lambda _4}$
d
(d)According to Kirchoff’s law in spectroscopy.

If a substance emit certain wavelengths at high temperature, it absorbs the same wavelength at comparatively lower temperature.
