During a brown-out, the electric power company drops the voltage ofthe power line and the incandescent light bulbs in your housebecome dimmer. When this happens, the filaments in the bulbsoperate at a lower than normal temperature, so
A)their color is somewhat bluer thannormal.
B)they emit ultraviolet light.
C)their color is the same as normal, but theyare less bright.
D)their color is somewhat redder thannormal.
Hint:
The Wien Law gives the wavelength of the peakof the radiation distribution, λmax =3´106/T. Here λ is measured inunits of nanometer = 10-9 m and T is in Kelvin.
So as the temperature decreases the wavelengthincreases. In the visible region, red light has the longestwavelength and violet light has the shortest wavelength.

Respuesta :

The the wavelength of red light is maximum therefore the bulb becomes redder than the normal.

"The distance between the two successive crests or troughs of the light wave" is how wavelength of light is described. The Greek letter lambda () is used to represent it. Thus, the wavelength is defined as the separation between one wave's crest or trough and the next wave. Simply put, the visible spectrum is the portion of an electromagnetic wave that can be observed by human eyes. The visible spectrum covers the infrared to ultraviolet portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The wavelength range of visible light falls between that of infrared and that of ultraviolet. Between 400 nanometers (violet) and roughly 700 nanometers, the human eye is capable of detecting light. There are other electromagnetic radiations, but they are either too small or too big to be detected.
