Question

ASAP PLEASE! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST ANSWER! The pictures below show the wavelengths and intensities of electromagnetic radiations emitted by three stars, Star 1, Star 2, and Star 3. Image shows 3 blackbody curve graphs. Star 1 peaks at a wavelength of 8500A, Star 2 peaks at 6000A and Star 3 peaks at 3500A. Which of these is most likely to happen if Star 2 becomes cooler? its peak will rise higher than Star 1 its peak will rise higher than Star 3 it will look more like Star 3 it will look more like Star 1

Answer 1

As per Weins displacement law the wavelength of light for which we get the peak of the graph is always inversely proportional to the temperature.

So we can say

$/lambda = \frac{b}{T}$

So here if temperature becomes more cool then wavelength will increase

here we know that

$\lambda_1 = 8500 A^o$

$\lambda_2 = 6000 A^o$

$\lambda_3 = 3500 A^o$

It means the hottest star out of all three is star 3

and coolest star is star 1

now if we star 2 becomes cooler then it means its temperature will go near to star 1 and hence it will more look like to star 1.

So correct answer is

it will look more like Star 1
