The intensity of radiation emitted by the sun has its maximum value at a wavelength of $510\;nm$ and that emitted by the north star has the maximum value at $350\;nm$. If these stars behave like black bodies,then the ratio of the surface temperature of the sun and north star is

$A$ black disc has a radius $R$ and the wavelength corresponding to the maximum intensity is $\lambda$. The emissive power $(E)$ for the different radii and maximum wavelengths is directly proportional to:

The surface temperature of the sun which has maximum energy emission at $500 \,nm$ is $6000 \,K$. The temperature of a star which has maximum energy emission at $400 \,nm$ will be: (in $\,K$)

The wavelength of maximum intensity of radiation emitted by a star is $289.8 \, nm$. The radiation intensity of the star is (Stefan's constant $\sigma = 5.67 \times 10^{-8} \, W m^{-2} K^{-4}$, Wien's constant $b = 2898 \, \mu m K$).
