Answer:

Yellow-blue

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface temperature of star relates to the peak wavelength by Wein's displacement law.


T =(2.89* 10^(-3) m-K)/(\lambda _peak)

A star having surface temperature between 5000 K to 6000 K will have wavelength in the visible range corresponding to yellow-blue color - (560 nm - 480 nm)
