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
    $1.46$
  • B
    $0.69$
  • C
    $1.21$
  • D
    $0.83$
