KCET2007PhysicsThermal Properties of Matter
The surface temperature of the sun which has maximum energy emission at 500 ~nm is 6000 ~K . The temperature of a star which has maximum energy emission at 400 ~nm will be
Options
- A8500 ~K
- B4500 ~K
- C7500 ~K
- D6500 ~K
Correct answer
C. 7500 ~K
Step-by-step solution
By using Wien's displacement law, ( _ m )₁ T₁= ( _ m )₂ T₂ 500 6000=400 T₂ T₂= 500 6000 400 T₂=7500 ~K
