A black body is at a temperature of 2880 K. The energy of radiation emitted by this body with wavelength between 499 nm and 500 nm is U1, between 999 nm and 1000 nm is U2 and between 1499 nm and 1500 nm is U3. The Wien's constant, b = 2.88×106 nm-K. Then,
The rate of change of quantities can be expressed in the form of derivatives. Rate of change of one quantity with respect to another is one of the major applications of derivatives. The rate of change of a function with respect to another quantity can also be done using chain rule.
If some other quantity ‘y’ causes some change in a quantity of certain ‘x’, in view of the fact that an equation of the form y = f(x) gets always satisfied, i.e, ‘y’ is a function of ‘x’ then the rate of change of ‘y’ related to ‘x’ is to be given by

This is also called the Average Rate of Change.
If the rate of change of a function is to be defined at a specific point i.e. a specific value of ‘x’, it is known as the Instantaneous Rate of Change of the function at that point. From the definition of the derivative of a function at a point, we have

From this, it is to be concluded that the instantaneous Rate of Change of the function is represented by the derivative of a function. From the rate of change formula, it represents the case when Δx → 0. Thus, the rate of change of ‘y’ with respect to ‘x’ at x = x0 = (dy/dx)x = x0
