The radiations from the sun have maximum wavelength of `5760Å`. The surface temperature of the sun is : `(b=0.288xx10^(-2)"mK")` :

A

6000 K

B

5000 K

C

4000 K

D

None of the above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`lamda_(m)*T=b`
`rArrT=(0*288xx10^(-2))/(5760xx10^(-10))`
`=5000K`.
Thus correct choice is (b).
