$A$ black body emits radiation of maximum intensity at wavelength $\lambda$ at temperature $T \ K$. Its corresponding wavelength at temperature $1.5 \ T \ K$ will be

The Sun emits light with a maximum wavelength of $510 \, nm$,while another star $X$ emits light with a maximum wavelength of $350 \, nm$. What is the ratio of the surface temperature of the Sun to that of star $X$?

The wavelength of maximum intensity of radiation emitted by a star is $289.8 \, nm$. The radiation intensity of the star is (Stefan's constant $\sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \, W m^{-2} K^{-4}$, Wien's constant $b = 2898 \, \mu m K$).

The following graph represents the radiant power versus wavelength of a black body. The area under the curve represents:

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ have emissivities $0.01$ and $0.81$ respectively. The outer surface areas of both bodies are the same. Both bodies emit total radiant power at the same rate. The wavelength $\lambda_B$ corresponding to the maximum spectral radiance of $B$ is $1.0 \mu m$. If the temperature of $A$ is $5802 \ K$,calculate the wavelength $\lambda_A$ in $\mu m$. (Note: The original question asked for $\lambda_B$ but provided $\lambda_B$ as $1.0 \mu m$ and asked for $\lambda_A$ based on the context of the solution provided).
