APFIVE Comparing Blackbody Emission Spectra
Two blackbodies have temperatures of 3000 K and 6000 K. How do their peak emission wavelengths compare, and at what wavelength do they emit the same spectral intensity?
A
Their $$\lambda_{\text{peak}}$$ ratio is 1:2; equal spectral intensity occurs at a longer wavelength
B
Their $$\lambda_{\text{peak}}$$ ratio is 2:1; they never emit the same intensity at any wavelength
C
Their $$\lambda_{\text{peak}}$$ ratio is 2:1; equal spectral intensity occurs at a wavelength between the peaks
D
Their $$\lambda_{\text{peak}}$$ ratio is 1:2; equal spectral intensity occurs at the shorter peak wavelength
