Question
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
8500 K
4500 K
7500 k
6500 K
Solution
C.
7500 k
Wein's displacement law:- Relationship between the temperature of a black body ( an ideal substance that emits and absorbs all frequencies of light) and the wavelength at which it emits the most light.
By using Wein's Displacement law,
⇒ 500 × 6000 = 400 × T2
⇒ T2 =
⇒ T2 = 7500 K
