On observing light from three different stars P, Q and R, it was found that intensity of violet colour is maximum in the spectrum of P, the intensity of green colour is maximumin the spectrum of R and the intensity of red colour is maximum in the spectrum of Q. If TP,TQ and TR are the respective absolute temperatures of P, Q and R, then it can be concluded from the above observations that :
TP > TQ> TR
Accordingly to Wien‘s law
λα1T and λV<λGλR
∴ TP>TQ>TR
