$A$ black body has a maximum wavelength $\lambda_{m}$ at a temperature of $2000 \ K$. Its corresponding wavelength at a temperature of $3000 \ K$ will be:

Two spherical stars $A$ and $B$ emit blackbody radiation. The radius of $A$ is $400$ times that of $B$ and $A$ emits $10^4$ times the power emitted from $B$. The ratio $(\lambda_A / \lambda_B)$ of their wavelengths $\lambda_A$ and $\lambda_B$ at which the peaks occur in their respective radiation curves is

The temperature of the sun is $5500 \ K$ and it emits maximum intensity radiation in the yellow region $(5.5 \times 10^{-7} \ m)$. The maximum radiation from a furnace occurs at a wavelength of $11 \times 10^{-7} \ m$. The temperature of the furnace is ....... $K$.
