Question:

On observing light from three different stars P, Q and R, it was found that intensity of violet color is maximum in the spectrum of P, the intensity of green colour is maximum in the spectrum of R and the intensity or red colour is maximum in the spectrum of Q. If TP, TQ and TR are the respective absolute temperatures of P, Q and R, then it can be concluded from the above observation that :

Options:

TP > TR > TQ

TP < TR < TQ

TP < TQ < TR

TP > TQ > TR

Correct Answer:

TP > TR > TQ

Explanation:

Wien's Displacement Law : \(\lambda_m ∝ \frac{1}{T}\)

∴ TP > TR > TQ
