The surface temperature of the stars is determined using:

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 $\mu m$)

The maximum energy in the thermal radiation from a hot source occurs at a wavelength of $11 \times 10^{-5} \ cm$. According to Wien's law, the temperature of the source (on Kelvin scale) will be $n$ times the temperature of another source (on Kelvin scale) for which the wavelength at maximum energy is $5.5 \times 10^{-5} \ cm$. The value of $n$ is

Wien's constant is $2892 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m K}$ and the value of $\lambda_m$ from the moon is $14.46 \text{ microns}$. What is the surface temperature of the moon in $K$?

Ordinary bodies $A$ and $B$ radiate maximum energy at wavelengths differing by $4 \mu m$. The absolute temperature of body $A$ is $3$ times that of body $B$. The wavelength at which body $B$ radiates maximum energy is: (in $\mu m$)
