Comparing Blackbody Emission Spectra
Two blackbodies are at temperatures of 3000 K and 6000 K. What is the ratio of the peak emission wavelength of the 3000 K body to that of the 6000 K body, and at what wavelength are their spectral intensities equal?
A
Their ratio is 2:1; equal spectral intensity occurs at a wavelength between the peaks
B
Their ratio is 1:2; equal spectral intensity occurs at a longer wavelength
C
Their ratio is 2:1; they never emit the same intensity at any wavelength
D
Their ratio is 1:2; equal spectral intensity occurs at the shorter peak wavelength
