APFIVE Blackbody Radiation and Temperature Scaling
A blackbody at temperature $$T$$ emits radiation with peak intensity at wavelength $$\lambda_{\text{max}}$$. If the intensity at wavelength $$2\lambda_{\text{max}}$$ is 40% of the peak intensity, what would be the approximate intensity at wavelength $$2\lambda_{\text{max}}$$ if the temperature is doubled to $$2T$$?
A
20% of the new peak intensity
B
80% of the new peak intensity
C
40% of the new peak intensity
D
160% of the new peak intensity
