Observations of light from three different stars $A, B$,and $C$ show that the intensity of the red color is maximum for star $A$,the intensity of the blue color is maximum for star $B$,and the intensity of the yellow color is maximum for star $C$. Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from these observations?

  • A
    Temperature of $A$ is maximum,$B$ is minimum,and $C$ is intermediate.
  • B
    Temperature of $A$ is maximum,$C$ is minimum,and $B$ is intermediate.
  • C
    Temperature of $B$ is maximum,$A$ is minimum,and $C$ is intermediate.
  • D
    Temperature of $C$ is maximum,$B$ is minimum,and $A$ is intermediate.

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of equal surface area have thermal emissivities of $0.01$ and $0.81$ respectively. The two bodies are radiating energy at the same rate. Maximum energy is radiated from the two bodies $A$ and $B$ at wavelengths $\lambda_A$ and $\lambda_B$ respectively. The difference in these two wavelengths is $1 \mu m$. If the temperature of body $A$ is $5802 \ K$, then the value of $\lambda_B$ is:

$A$ black body is at a temperature of $2880\;K$. The energy of radiation emitted by this object with wavelength between $499\;nm$ and $500\;nm$ is ${U_1}$,between $999\;nm$ and $1000\;nm$ is ${U_2}$ and between $1499\;nm$ and $1500\;nm$ is ${U_3}$. The Wien's constant $b = 2.88 \times {10^6}\;nm\,K$. Then

Wien's displacement law expresses the relation between:
