In determining the temperature of a distant star,one makes use of

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 $b = 2898 \, \mu m K$).

Ordinary bodies $P$ and $Q$ radiate maximum energy with a wavelength difference of $3 \mu m$. The absolute temperature of body $P$ is four times that of $Q$. The wavelength at which body $Q$ radiates maximum energy is (in $\mu m$)

$A$ black body at $200 K$ is found to emit maximum energy at a wavelength of $14 \mu m$. When its temperature is raised to $1000 K$,the wavelength at which maximum energy is emitted is:

At a temperature of $2000 \; K$,the maximum energy of a black body is emitted at a wavelength of $14 \; \mu m$. When its temperature is reduced to $1000 \; K$,the wavelength corresponding to the maximum energy emitted is ....... $\mu m$.
