Two spherical bodies $A$ (radius $6 \,cm$) and $B$ (radius $18 \,cm$) are at temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$,respectively. The maximum intensity in the emission spectrum of $A$ is at $500 \,nm$ and in that of $B$ is at $1500 \,nm$. Considering them to be black bodies,what will be the ratio of the rate of total energy radiated by $A$ to that of $B$?

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).
