The surface temperature of the stars is determined using

  1. A Planck's law
  2. B Wien's displacement law
  3. C Rayleigh-Jeans law
  4. D Kirchhoff's law
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Wien's displacement law

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The surface temperature of the stars is determined using Wien's displacement law.
According to this law, \(\lambda_{m} \mathrm{~T}=\mathrm{b}\)
where \(b\) is Wien's constant whose value is \(2.898 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{mK}\)
