Answer:

(B) The wavelength that a star radiates the most energy is inversely proportional to the temperature.

Explanation:

As we know that

According to Wien's law wavelength is inverse proportional to the temperature .

λ.T = Constant.

λ.∝ 1 /T

As we know that star radiates wavelength and this wavelength is inverse proportional to the temperature of the star.

The temperature of cool star is cooler than the temperature of hot star that is cool star looks red and hot star looks blue.Cool star have low energy and hot star have high energy.

So option B is correct.

(B) The wavelength that a star radiates the most energy is inversely proportional to the temperature.

The energy of a photon was found to be 3.38 x 10-19 J. Planck's constant is 6.63 x 10-34 J. S. Which color of light corresponds

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The correct option is (c).

Explanation:

Given that,

The energy of a photon is, $E=3.38\times 10^{-19}\ J$

We need to tell the color of this light. We know that, the energy of a photon is given by :

$E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}$

Where

c is the speed of light

$\lambda=\dfrac{hc}{E}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{3.38 \times 10^{-19}}\\\\\lambda=5.88\times 10^{-7}\ m\\\\\lambda=588\ nm$

The wavelength of yellow light is approx 580 nm. Hence, we can say that this photon corresponds to yellow light.
