Which of the following statement does not hold good for thermal radiation?

Answer»

the wavelength changes when it travels from one MEDIUM to ANOTHER.
The frequency changes when it travels from one medium to another.
The speed changes when it travels from one medium to another.
They travel is straight line in a given medium.

Solution : Thermal RADIATION travels in straight lines, like light.
Thermal radiation obeys the law of refraction.
Hence, when it travels from one medium to another, its wavelength and speed changes whereas frequency REMAINS unchanged as frequency is thecharacteristics of SOURCE of thermal radiation.
