The wavelength corresponding to the maximum energy emitted by a body at a certain temperature is ${\lambda _0}$. If the temperature of the body is increased such that the new maximum wavelength becomes $\frac{3{\lambda _0}}{4}$, then by what factor does the emissive power increase?

  • A
    $256/81$
  • B
    $64/27$
  • C
    $16/9$
  • D
    $27/64$
