    Using which of the following instruments, the temperature of the sun can be determined ?

    A)  Platinum thermometer

    B)  Gas thermometer

    C)  Pyrometer

    D)  Vapour pressure thermometer

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Pyrometers are the devices used to measure-the temperature by measuring the intensity of radiations received from the body. They are based on the fact that the amount of radiation emitted from a body per unit area per second is directly proportional to the fourth power of temperature (Stefan's law). These can be used to measure temperature ranging from \[{{800}^{o}}C\] to \[{{6000}^{o}}C\].
