The distance of two planets from the Sun...

The distance of two planets from the Sun are `10^(13)and10^(12)` metres respectively. The ratio of time periods of these two planets is:

A

100

B

`sqrt(10)`

C

`10sqrt(10)`

D

`(1)/(sqrt10)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

According to Kepler's law,
`((T_1)^(2))/((T_2)^(2))=((R_1)^(3))/((R_2)^(3))=((10^(13))/(10^(12)))rArr(T_1)/(T_2)=10sqrt(10)`
