Problem

A blackbody has its peak emission at λ1=2.4 μm\lambda_{1}=2.4\,\mu\text{m} when its temperature is T1=1200 KT_{1}=1200\,\text{K}. What will be the peak wavelength λ2\lambda_{2} when the temperature is raised to T2=1500 KT_{2}=1500\,\text{K}? (a) 2.15 μm2.15\,\mu\text{m} (b) 3.00 μm3.00\,\mu\text{m} (c) 1.92 μm1.92\,\mu\text{m} (d) 1.53 μm1.53\,\mu\text{m}
