On observing light from three different stars $P, Q$ and $R$, it was found that the 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 $T_P, T_Q$ and $T_R$ are the respective absolute temperatures of $P, Q$ and $R$, then it can be concluded from the above observations that:

  • A
    $T_P > T_R > T_Q$
  • B
    $T_P > T_Q > T_R$
  • C
    $T_P < T_R < T_Q$
  • D
    $T_P < T_Q < T_R$

Four pieces of iron heated in a furnace to different temperatures show different colours listed below. Which one has the highest temperature?

Black bodies $A$ and $B$ radiate maximum energy with wavelength difference $4 \mu m$. The absolute temperature of body $A$ is $3$ times that of $B$. The wavelength at which body $B$ radiates maximum energy is (in $\mu m$)

The intensity of radiation emitted by the sun has its maximum value at a wavelength of $510\;nm$ and that emitted by the north star has the maximum value at $350\;nm$. If these stars behave like black bodies,then the ratio of the surface temperature of the sun and north star is

The wavelength of maximum emitted energy $(\lambda_m)$ of a body at $700 \ K$ is $4.08 \ \mu m$. If the temperature of the body is raised to $1400 \ K$,then the value of $\lambda_m$ will be (in $\mu m$)
