The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given information We have two spherical stars, A and B. The radius of star A is 400 times that of star B, and the power emitted by star A is \(10^4\) times the power emitted by star B. ### Step 2: Use the Stefan-Boltzmann Law According to the Stefan-Boltzmann Law, the power emitted by a black body is given by: \[ P = A \cdot \epsilon \cdot \sigma \cdot T^4 \] where: - \(P\) is the power, - \(A\) is the surface area, - \(\epsilon\) is the emissivity, - \(\sigma\) is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, - \(T\) is the temperature. For a sphere, the surface area \(A\) is given by \(4\pi R^2\). ### Step 3: Write the power equations for both stars Let the radius of star B be \(R_B\). Then the radius of star A is \(R_A = 400 R_B\). The power emitted by star A (\(P_A\)) and star B (\(P_B\)) can be expressed as: \[ P_A = 4\pi R_A^2 \cdot \epsilon_A \cdot \sigma \cdot T_A^4 \] \[ P_B = 4\pi R_B^2 \cdot \epsilon_B \cdot \sigma \cdot T_B^4 \] ### Step 4: Set up the ratio of powers Given that \(P_A = 10^4 P_B\), we can substitute the expressions for \(P_A\) and \(P_B\): \[ 4\pi (400 R_B)^2 \cdot \epsilon_A \cdot \sigma \cdot T_A^4 = 10^4 \cdot (4\pi R_B^2 \cdot \epsilon_B \cdot \sigma \cdot T_B^4) \] ### Step 5: Simplify the equation Cancel \(4\pi\) and \(\sigma\) from both sides: \[ (400^2 R_B^2) \cdot \epsilon_A \cdot T_A^4 = 10^4 \cdot (R_B^2 \cdot \epsilon_B \cdot T_B^4) \] This simplifies to: \[ 160000 \cdot \epsilon_A \cdot T_A^4 = 10^4 \cdot \epsilon_B \cdot T_B^4 \] ### Step 6: Rearrange to find the temperature ratio Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{T_A^4}{T_B^4} = \frac{10^4 \cdot \epsilon_B}{160000 \cdot \epsilon_A} \] This can be simplified to: \[ \frac{T_A^4}{T_B^4} = \frac{10^4}{16 \cdot 10^4} \cdot \frac{\epsilon_B}{\epsilon_A} = \frac{1}{16} \cdot \frac{\epsilon_B}{\epsilon_A} \] Assuming both stars have similar emissivity (\(\epsilon_A \approx \epsilon_B\)), we can ignore the emissivity factor: \[ \frac{T_A^4}{T_B^4} = \frac{1}{16} \] Taking the fourth root gives: \[ \frac{T_A}{T_B} = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 7: Use Wien's Law to find the wavelength ratio Wien's Law states that: \[ \lambda_{max} \cdot T = b \] where \(b\) is a constant. Therefore, we can write: \[ \lambda_A \cdot T_A = \lambda_B \cdot T_B \] Thus, the ratio of the wavelengths is: \[ \frac{\lambda_A}{\lambda_B} = \frac{T_B}{T_A} \] Substituting the temperature ratio: \[ \frac{\lambda_A}{\lambda_B} = \frac{2}{1} = 2 \] ### Final Answer The ratio of the wavelengths at which the peaks occur in their respective radiation curves is: \[ \frac{\lambda_A}{\lambda_B} = 2 \] ---

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given information We have two spherical stars, A and B. The radius of star A is 400 times that of star B, and the power emitted by star A is \(10^4\) times the power emitted by star B. ### Step 2: Use the Stefan-Boltzmann Law According to the Stefan-Boltzmann Law, the power emitted by a black body is given by: \[ ...
