Problem
Two smooth curves, A and B, represent ideal blackbody spectra plotted on the same intensity–wavelength axes. Curve A peaks at 400 nm, while Curve B peaks at 500 nm and reaches a higher maximum intensity than Curve A. In one or two sentences, explain which curve corresponds to the higher-temperature source and why.
