The temperature of a furnace is $2000^\circ C$ and the wavelength of maximum intensity in its spectrum is $4000 \ \mathring{A}$. If the wavelength of maximum intensity is $2000 \ \mathring{A}$, calculate the temperature of the furnace in $^\circ C$.

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ have emissivities $0.01$ and $0.81$ respectively. The outer surface areas of both bodies are the same. Both bodies emit total radiant power at the same rate. The wavelength $\lambda_B$ corresponding to the maximum spectral radiance of $B$ is $1.0 \mu m$. If the temperature of $A$ is $5802 \ K$,calculate the wavelength $\lambda_A$ in $\mu m$. (Note: The original question asked for $\lambda_B$ but provided $\lambda_B$ as $1.0 \mu m$ and asked for $\lambda_A$ based on the context of the solution provided).

$A$ body at $3000 \,K$ emits maximum energy at a wavelength of $9660 Å$. If the sun emits maximum energy at a wavelength of $4950 Å$, what would be the temperature of the sun (in $\,K$)?

The wavelength of maximum emitted energy $(\lambda_m)$ of a body at $700 \ K$ is $4.08 \ \mu m$. If the temperature of the body is raised to $1400 \ K$,then the value of $\lambda_m$ will be (in $\mu m$)
