Q97 / 180 · NEET 2020 (Phase 2) · Physics
Three stars have surface temperatures respectively. Star A appears bluish, star appears reddish and star yellowish. Hence,
- A
- B
- C
- Correct answerD
Solution
Stars approximate black body radiators and their visible colour depend upon the temperature of the radiator. The curves show blue, white, and red stars. The white star is adjusted to so that the peak of its blackbody curve is at the peak wavelength of the sun, . From the wavelength at the peak, the temperature can be deduced from the Wien displacement law.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
