According to Kepler's law of planetary motion, if T represents time period and `r` is orbital radius, then for two planets these are related as

A

`((T_(1))/(T_(2)))^(3//2)=(r_(1))/(r_(2))`

B

`(T_(1))/(T_(2))=[(r_(1))/(r_(2))]`

C

`[(T_(1))/(T_(2))]^(2)=[(r_(1))/(r_(2))]^(3)`

D

`(T_(1)^(2))/(T_(2))=(r_(1)^(3))/(r_(1))`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion, which states that the square of the time period (T) of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (r) of its orbit. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Kepler's Third Law**: According to Kepler's Third Law, we can express the relationship between the time period (T) and the orbital radius (r) as: \[ T^2 \propto r^3 \] This means that for any two planets, the ratio of the squares of their time periods is equal to the ratio of the cubes of their orbital radii. 2. **Setting up the relationship for two planets**: Let’s denote the time periods and orbital radii of two planets as \( T_1 \), \( T_2 \) and \( r_1 \), \( r_2 \) respectively. According to Kepler's law, we can write: \[ \frac{T_1^2}{T_2^2} = \frac{r_1^3}{r_2^3} \] 3. **Rearranging the equation**: We can rearrange this equation to express the relationship between the time periods and the orbital radii: \[ \frac{T_1^2}{T_2^2} = \frac{r_1^3}{r_2^3} \] This shows that the ratio of the squares of the time periods of the two planets is equal to the ratio of the cubes of their orbital radii. 4. **Final expression**: Hence, we can conclude that: \[ \frac{T_1^2}{T_2^2} = \frac{r_1^3}{r_2^3} \] ### Conclusion: The relationship between the time periods and the orbital radii of two planets can be summarized as: \[ \frac{T_1^2}{T_2^2} = \frac{r_1^3}{r_2^3} \]
