According to Kepler, the period of revolution of a planet ( T ) and its mean distance from the sun ( r ) are related by the equation

A

`T^(2)r`= Constant

B

`T^(2)r^(-3)=` Constant

C

`T^(2)r^(3)="Constant"`

D

`T^(3)r^(3)=` Constant

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b

`T^(2)=(4pi^(2))/(GM)r^(3)`
`(T^(2))/(T^(3))=(4pi^(2))/(GM)="constant"`
`T^(2)r^(-3) = "constant."`
