Solar radiation emitted by the sun resembles that emitted by a black body at a temperature of $6000 \ K$. Maximum intensity is emitted at a wavelength of about $4800 \ \mathring{A}$. If the sun were to cool down from $6000 \ K$ to $3000 \ K$,then the peak intensity would occur at a wavelength of ....... $\mathring{A}$.
