Mark
< Prev
Next >

A blackbody at temperature TT has a peak radiation intensity at wavelength λmax\lambda_{\text{max}}. At a wavelength of 2λmax2\lambda_{\text{max}}, the intensity is 40% of the peak value. If the temperature is increased to 2T2T, what is the approximate intensity at a wavelength twice the new peak wavelength, relative to the new peak intensity?

A

40% of the new peak intensity

B

80% of the new peak intensity

C

20% of the new peak intensity

D

160% of the new peak intensity
