Question

the graph shows the distribution of energy emitted by a star. which is the best conclusion to draw about the star? it has a lower temperature than the sun because its peak wavelength is longer than the suns. it has a lower temperature than the sun because its peak wavelength is shorter than the suns. it has a higher temperature than the sun because its peak wavelength is longer than the suns. it has a higher temperature than the sun because its peak wavelength is shorter than the suns.

Explanation:

According to Wien's displacement law, the temperature of a black - body (a good approximation for stars in this context) is inversely proportional to the peak wavelength of its emitted radiation. A shorter peak wavelength corresponds to a higher temperature.

Answer:

It has a higher temperature than the Sun because its peak wavelength is shorter than the Sun's.
