Q62 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (24 Jun Shift 2) · Physics
The distance between Sun and Earth is . The duration of year if the distance between Sun and Earth becomes will be :
- A
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution
According to Kepler's Third Law – The Law of Periods,
where is time taken by the planet to go once around the sun and is the semi-major axis (distance) of the elliptical orbit.
(i)
Where is a constant of proportionality.
When becomes times, let the time period be .
So, time period will be .
