Assertion : Blue star is at high temperature than red star.
Reason : Wein's displacement law states that `T prop (1//lambda_(m))`.

A

If both the assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If the assertion is true but the reason is false

D

If the both the assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

From Wein's displacement law, temperature `(T) prop 1//lambda_(m)` (where `lambda_(m)` is the maximum wavelenght ). Thus temperauture of a body is inversely proportional to the wavelength. Since blue star has smaller wavelength and red star has maximum wavelength therefore blue star is at higher temperature than star.
