Solar radiation emitted by the Sun resembles that of a black body at a temperature of $6000 \, K$. The maximum intensity of radiation is emitted at a wavelength of $4800 \, \mathring{A}$. If the temperature of the Sun decreases from $6000 \, K$ to $3000 \, K$,then at what wavelength (in $\mathring{A}$) will the maximum intensity of radiation be emitted?

  • A
    $4800$
  • B
    $9600$
  • C
    $7200$
  • D
    $6400$
