Three stars A, B, C have surface temperatures `T_A , T_B ,T_C` respectively. Star A appears bluish, star B appears reddish and star C yellowish. Hence,

A

`T_B gt T_C gt T_A`

B

`T_C gt T_B gt T_A`

C

`T_A gt T_C gt T_B`

D

`T_A gt T_B gt T_C`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Wavelength `prop` Temperature of the stars
Since `lambda_A lt lambda_C lt lambda_B (A to "Blue", B to "Red", C to "Yellow")`
`therefore T_A lt T_C lt T_B`
