On observing light from three different ...

On observing light from three different stars `P`, `Q` and `R`, it was found that intensity of violet colour is maximum in the spectrum of `P`, the intensity of green colour is maximum in the spectrum of `R` and the intensity of red colour is maximum in the spectrum of `Q`. if `T_(P)`, `T_(Q)` and `T_(R)` are respective absolute temperature of `P`, `Q` and `R`. then it can be concluded from the above observation that

A

`T_(P)gtT_(Q)gtT_(R)`

B

`T_(P)gtT_(R)gtT_(Q)`

C

`T_(P)ltT_(R)ltT_(Q)`

D

`T_(P)ltT_(Q)ltT_(R)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

b) We know from Wien's displacement law,
`lambda_(m)T`=constant
So, `Talpha1/(lambda_(m)`
As, `lambda_(r) gt lambda_(g) gt lambda_(v)`
So, `T_(r) lt T_(g) lt T_(v)`
Given, `Ptov_(max)`,`Qtor_(max)`,`Rtog_(max)`
Hence, `T_(Q) ltT_(R)ltT_(p)`
i.e, `T_(P)gtT_(R)gtT_(Q)`
