The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationship between the period of revolution \( T \) of a planet and the mean radius \( R \) of its orbit around the Sun, based on Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Kepler's Third Law**: - According to Kepler's Third Law, the square of the period of revolution \( T \) of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the mean radius \( R \) of its orbit. - Mathematically, this can be expressed as: \[ T^2 \propto R^3 \] - This implies: \[ T^2 = k R^3 \] where \( k \) is a constant. 2. **Identifying the Relationship**: - From the equation \( T^2 = k R^3 \), we can derive that: \[ T^2 = k R^3 \implies T^2 = k (R^3) \] - This indicates that if we plot \( T^2 \) against \( R^3 \), we should get a straight line, which confirms that graph A is correct. 3. **Analyzing Graph B**: - If we take the cube root of both sides from \( T^2 = k R^3 \), we get: \[ T^{2/3} \propto R \] - This means that if we plot \( T^{2/3} \) against \( R \), we should also obtain a linear relationship, confirming that graph B is correct. 4. **Analyzing Graph C**: - Now, if we consider the relationship between \( T^2 \) and \( \frac{1}{R^3} \): \[ T^2 \propto R^3 \implies T^2 \propto \frac{1}{\frac{1}{R^3}} \] - This implies that if we plot \( T^2 \) against \( \frac{1}{R^3} \), we should expect a rectangular hyperbola, which is not a linear relationship. Therefore, graph C is incorrect. 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis of the relationships derived from Kepler's Third Law, we conclude that graph C is the incorrect graph. ### Final Answer: The incorrect graph is **Graph C**.
