On observing light from three different stars $P, Q$ and $R$, it was found that the intensity of violet colour is maximum in the spectrum of $P$, the intensity of green colour is maximum in the spectrum of $R$, and the intensity of red colour is maximum in the spectrum of $Q$. If $T_P, T_Q$ and $T_R$ are the respective absolute temperatures of $P, Q$ and $R$, then it can be concluded from the above observations that:

The wavelength corresponding to the maximum energy emitted by a body at a certain temperature is ${\lambda _0}$. If the temperature of the body is increased such that the new maximum wavelength becomes $\frac{3{\lambda _0}}{4}$, then by what factor does the emissive power increase?
