    Two stars A and B radiate maximum energy at the wavelengths of 360 nm and 480 nm respectively. Then the ratio of the surface temperatures of A and B is

    A)  \[3:4\]            

    B)  \[81:256\]

    C)  \[4:3\]            

    D)  \[256:81\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     : According to Weins displacement law \[{{\lambda }_{\max }}T\] = constant \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{{{A}_{\max }}}}}{{{\lambda }_{{{B}_{\max }}}}}=\frac{{{T}_{B}}}{{{T}_{A}}}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{T}_{B}}}{{{T}_{A}}}=\frac{{{\lambda }_{{{B}_{\max }}}}}{{{\lambda }_{{{A}_{\max }}}}}=\frac{480nm}{360nm}=\frac{4}{3}\]
