Options

  1. Aλ1>λ3>λ2\lambda_1 > \lambda_3 > \lambda_2
  2. Bλ1>λ3<λ2\lambda_1 > \lambda_3 < \lambda_2
  3. Cλ1<λ3>λ2\lambda_1 < \lambda_3 > \lambda_2
  4. Dλ1<λ3<λ2\lambda_1 < \lambda_3 < \lambda_2

Correct answer

D. λ1<λ3<λ2\lambda_1 < \lambda_3 < \lambda_2

Step-by-step solution

From the given graph, the horizontal axis represents the wavelength λ\lambda.

Let λ1\lambda_1, λ2\lambda_2, and λ3\lambda_3 be the wavelengths corresponding to the maximum intensity (the peaks of the curves) for the black bodies at temperatures T1T_1, T2T_2, and T3T_3 respectively.

By observing the positions of the peaks along the λ\lambda-axis:
The peak of the curve for T1T_1 is furthest to the left, meaning it corresponds to the smallest wavelength, so λ1\lambda_1 is the minimum.
The peak of the curve for T3T_3 is in the middle, so λ3\lambda_3 is greater than λ1\lambda_1.
The peak of the curve for T2T_2 is furthest to the right, meaning it corresponds to the largest wavelength, so λ2\lambda_2 is the maximum.

Therefore, the correct relationship between the wavelengths is:
λ1<λ3<λ2\lambda_1 < \lambda_3 < \lambda_2

Answer: λ1<λ3<λ2\lambda_1 < \lambda_3 < \lambda_2
