What Type of relationship exists between the Temperature of a Star and the Wavelength of a Star?

To estimate the surface temperature of a star, we can use the known relationship between the temperature of a blackbody, and the wavelength of light were its spectrum peaks. That is, as you increase the temperature of a blackbody, the peak of its spectrum moves to shorter (bluer) wavelengths of light.

This is known as Wien's Law:
The relationship is:
wavelength = 0.0029/temperature

It is an inversely proportional relationship.

Answer:

FALSE.

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that :

Every action has equal and opposite reaction
That is , the magnitude is the same but the directions are opposite
The action reaction forces DONOT operate on the same body.

For example ,

If a block is kept on the ground , the action force is the normal force acting on it due to the ground. BUT , NOTE THAT : the reaction force isn't the gravitational force on the body ! It is the normal force acting on the ground due to the block !

Thus,

we conclude that action and reaction forces donot act on the same body and therefore , this case has the answer : FALSE
