Thermal Radiation: Black Body, Stefan & Wien

Two stars 'P' and 'Q' emit yellow and blue light respectively. The relation between their temperatures (TP(T_{P} and TQ)T_{Q}) is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Wien's law: T∝1λmT \propto \dfrac{1}{\lambda_m}.
  2. Yellow light has a longer wavelength than blue, so λP>λQ\lambda_P > \lambda_Q.
  3. Hence TP<TQT_P < T_Q, so the answer is (d).
