Which graph represents the $v_m - T$ relationship for a black body,where $v_m$ is the frequency corresponding to the maximum energy emission and $T$ is the absolute temperature?

Three black discs $x, y, z$ have radii $1 \ m, 2 \ m$ and $3 \ m$ respectively. The wavelengths corresponding to maximum intensity are $200 \ nm, 300 \ nm$ and $400 \ nm$ respectively. The relation between emissive power $E_x, E_y$ and $E_z$ is:

If the wavelengths of maximum intensity of radiation emitted by the Sun and the Moon are $0.5 \times 10^{-6} \, m$ and $10^{-4} \, m$ respectively,then the ratio of their temperatures is ............

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
