NEET 2015 Physics Wien's Displacement Law MCQ Question
On observing light from three different stars P, Q and R, it was found that intensity of violet colour is maximum in the spectrum of P, the intensity of green colour is maximum in the spectrum of R and the intensity of red colour is maximum in the spectrum of Q. If T_P, T_Q and T_R are the respective absolute temperatures of P, Q and R then it can be concluded from the above observations that
T_P > T_Q > T_R
T_P > T_R > T_Q
T_P < T_R < T_Q
T_P < T_Q < T_R
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to Wien's displacement law, the peak wavelength is inversely proportional to the temperature. Violet has the shortest wavelength, indicating the highest temperature.
