An extremely hot star would appear to be
  • A
    Red
  • Blue
  • C
    Yellow
  • D
    Orange

Answer

Correct option: B.
Blue
According to Wien's law, $\lambda_m \propto \frac{1}{T}$. It means higher the temperature of a star, the lower is the wavelength of maximum intensity radiation emitted from star which tells the colour of star.
