Three stars A,B,CA, B, C have surface temperatures TA,TB,TC{T}_{A}, {T}_{B}, {T}_{C} respectively. Star A appears bluish, star BB appears reddish and star CC yellowish. Hence,Three stars A, B, C have surface temperatures T _ A , T _ B , T _ C respectively. Star A appears bluish, star B appears

Options

  1. ATA>TB>TC{T}_{A} > {T}_{B} > {T}_{C}
  2. BTB>TC>TA{T}_{B} > {T}_{C} > {T}_{A}
  3. CTC>TB>TA{T}_{C} > {T}_{B} > {T}_{A}
  4. DTA>TC>TB{T}_{A} > {T}_{C} > {T}_{B}

Correct answer

D. TA>TC>TB{T}_{A} > {T}_{C} > {T}_{B}

Step-by-step solution

Stars approximate black body radiators and their visible colour depend upon the temperature of the radiator. The curves show blue, white, and red stars. The white star is adjusted to 5270K5270K so that the peak of its blackbody curve is at the peak wavelength of the sun, 550nm550nm. From the wavelength at the peak, the temperature can be deduced from the Wien displacement law.

Three stars A, B, C have surface temperatures T _ A , T _ B , T _ C respectively. Star A appears bluish, star B appears

TA>TC>TB{T}_{A} > {T}_{C} > {T}_{B}
