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.

The wavelength of the radiation emitted by a black body is $6 \ mm$ and Wien's constant is $3 \times 10^{-3} \ mK$. Then the temperature of the black body is (in $K$)

The plots of intensity $(I)$ versus wavelength $(\lambda)$ for three black bodies at temperatures $T_1, T_2$ and $T_3$ respectively are as shown. Their temperatures are such that:

$A$ black body emits radiations of maximum intensity at a wavelength of $5000 \mathring A$,when the temperature of the body is $1227^{\circ}C$. If the temperature of the body is increased by $1000^{\circ}C$,the maximum intensity of emitted radiation would be observed at..... $\mathring A$.
