The number of incorrect statement/s about the black body from the following is __________
(A) Emit or absorb energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
(B) Frequency distribution of the emitted radiation depends on temperature.
(C) At a given temperature, intensity vs frequency curve passes through a maximum value.
(D) The maximum of the intensity vs frequency curve is at a higher frequency at higher temperature compared to that at lower temperature.
Solution
<p>All the statements (A, B, C, D) provided about black bodies are correct. </p>
<p>(A) A black body is an idealized physical body that absorbs all incident electromagnetic radiation, regardless of frequency or angle of incidence. It also emits energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation.</p>
<p>(B) The frequency distribution of the emitted radiation by a black body indeed depends on its temperature. This phenomenon is described by Planck's law.</p>
<p>(C) The intensity vs frequency curve for a black body, also known as the Planck's curve, does indeed pass through a maximum value for a given temperature.</p>
<p>(D) The frequency at which the maximum intensity occurs increases with the temperature of the black body. This is stated in Wien's displacement law.</p>
<p>So, the number of incorrect statements about the black body from the above is 0.</p>
