NEET 2015 Physics Wien's Displacement Law MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

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

A

T_P > T_Q > T_R

B

T_P > T_R > T_Q

C

T_P < T_R < T_Q

D

T_P < T_Q < T_R

Correct Answer

Option A

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.
