An opaque object that emits a thermal radiation spectrum is called a “blackbody”. As the temperature of a blackbody increases, what happens to the peak wavelength of the light it radiates?
Wien's displacement law states that the black body radiation curve for different temperatures
peaks at a wavelength inversely proportional to the temperature
that means
lambda max = b/T
here b is Wien's displacement constant, equal to 2.8977729(17)×10−3 m K
So if temprature increases wavelength decreases

The universe is filled with thermal radiation, which has a blackbody spectrum at an effective temperature of 2.7 K. What is the peak wavelength of this radiation? What is the energy (in eV) of quanta at the peak wavelength?
A particular light bulb filament emits 95.1 Watts of blackbody (thermal) radiation when it is held at a temperature of 2,132 degrees Celsius. How much power will it radiate if the temperature is raised to 3,079 degrees C? Give your answer in Watts with an accuracy of 1 W.
The illustration shows the
spectrum of electromagnetic radiation emitted by a blackbody at two
different Kelvin temperatures. The range of visible frequencies
(those that can be detected by the human eye) is also shown. (a) No
matter what the value of the Kelvin temperature T, the spectrum
decreases to zero at very high frequencies. Why is this? (i) At
very high frequencies the photon energy is very small compared to
kT. (ii) At very high frequencies the photon energy is...
What is the temperature If the peak of a blackbody spectrum is at 17.0 m? What is the wavelength at the peak of a blackbody spectrum if the body is at a temperature of 1700 K? About 0.1ev is required to break a "hydrogen bond" in a protein molecule. Calculate the minimum frequency and maximum wavelength of a photon that can be accomplish this minimum frequency
The cosmic background radiation permeating the universe has the spectrum of a 2.7-K blackbody radiator. What is the peak wavelength of this radiation? The constant in Wien's law is 0.0029 m ∙ K. Hint: the answer will be in mm
The spectrum of a blackbody has a peak wavelength of 5.30×10-7 meters. What is its temperature, in kelvins?
What is the temperature if the peak of a blackbody spectrum is at 14.0nm ?
A small object with an opaque, diffuse surface at a temperature
of 500 K is suspended in a large furnace with walls at 2000 K.
Assume that the walls of the furnace provide a diffuse irradiation
to the object at a blackbody temperature equal to the furnace wall
temperature. The object’s surface has a spectral hemispherical
emissivity and absorptivity as given below. (a) Determine the total
emissivity and total absorptivity of the object’s surface. Partial
Ans: ?=0.021 (b) Evaluate the...
For an opaque object, its emissivity (ε, radiation from a warm object) is inversely related to its reflectivity. How would the radiated light from an opaque object (such as the earth), with an emissivity of 1 (complete absorption of light), compare with an opaque object (such as the earth), with a very low emissivity (such as 0.1, and nearly complete reflection)?
A glowing blackbody is at a temperature of 4.325×103 K. For this temperature the peak in the intensity vs. wavelength curve occurs at a wavelength of 670 nm. When the temperature of the blackbody changes, the peak shifts to 1.876×103 nm. What is the new temperature of the blackbody?
