The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use Wien's Displacement Law, which states that the product of the maximum wavelength of radiation emitted by a black body and its temperature is a constant. The formula can be expressed as: \[ \lambda_{max} \cdot T = b \] where \( \lambda_{max} \) is the maximum wavelength, \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin, and \( b \) is Wien's displacement constant. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Ratios and Values**: - The temperature ratio of the two stars is given as \( T_1 : T_2 = 3 : 2 \). - The maximum wavelength for the first star (\( \lambda_{M1} \)) is given as \( 4000 \, \text{Å} \). 2. **Convert Wavelength to Meters**: - Convert \( \lambda_{M1} \) from angstroms to meters: \[ \lambda_{M1} = 4000 \, \text{Å} = 4000 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \] 3. **Apply Wien's Displacement Law**: - According to Wien's Law, we have: \[ \frac{\lambda_{M1}}{\lambda_{M2}} = \frac{T_2}{T_1} \] 4. **Substituting the Temperature Ratio**: - From the temperature ratio \( T_1 : T_2 = 3 : 2 \), we can express this as: \[ \frac{T_2}{T_1} = \frac{2}{3} \] - Therefore, we can rewrite the equation: \[ \frac{\lambda_{M1}}{\lambda_{M2}} = \frac{2}{3} \] 5. **Rearranging to Find \( \lambda_{M2} \)**: - Rearranging gives: \[ \lambda_{M2} = \lambda_{M1} \cdot \frac{3}{2} \] 6. **Substituting the Value of \( \lambda_{M1} \)**: - Now substituting \( \lambda_{M1} = 4000 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \): \[ \lambda_{M2} = 4000 \times 10^{-10} \cdot \frac{3}{2} \] 7. **Calculating \( \lambda_{M2} \)**: - Performing the multiplication: \[ \lambda_{M2} = 4000 \times 10^{-10} \cdot 1.5 = 6000 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \] - Converting back to angstroms: \[ \lambda_{M2} = 6000 \, \text{Å} \] ### Final Answer: The corresponding wavelength of the second star is \( 6000 \, \text{Å} \). ---
