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:

  • A
    $E_x$ is maximum
  • B
    $E_y$ is maximum
  • C
    $E_z$ is maximum
  • D
    $E_x = E_y = E_z$
