Solution

The correct option is B Ta>Tb>Tc
According to Wein's displacement law:
λT=b
As we can see, the wavelength is inversely proportional to the temperature of the source.
In other words, higher the wavelength, lower is the temperature.
The order wavelength is :
λa<λb<λc
The order of temperature would be the exact reverse order:
Ta>Tb>Tc
Hence option B is correct.
