Question:medium

The emissivities of the surfaces of two spheres P and Q of radii \(2R\) and \(3R\) are 0.35 and 0.7 respectively. The ratio of the powers radiated by the spheres P and Q is \(9:8\). If the wavelength at which sphere P emits radiations of maximum intensity is \(4000\ \text{\AA}\), then the wavelength at which sphere Q emits radiations of maximum intensity is:

Show Hint

Use Stefan's law to find temperature ratio and then apply Wien's displacement law.
