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 and are the respective absolute temperatures of P, Q and R, then it can be concluded from the above observation that
To solve this problem, we will use Wien's Displacement Law, which states that the wavelength at which the intensity of radiation is maximum is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature of the black body.Mathematically, it is given by:where is the wavelength of maximum intensity, is the absolute temperature, and is Wien's constant.Given:• Star P has maximum intensity in violet light.• Star R has maximum intensity in green light.• Star Q has maximum intensity in red light.The approximate wavelengths for these colors are:• Violet: nm• Green: nm• Red: nmAccording to Wien's Law, the star with the shortest will have the highest temperature.Therefore, we can conclude:• because Thus, the correct order of temperatures is:This corresponds to Option 4.
