Three stars $A, B, C$ have surface temperatures $T_{A}, T_{B}, T_{C}$ respectively. Star $A$ appears bluish,star $B$ appears reddish,and star $C$ appears yellowish. Hence,

The Sun emits light with a maximum wavelength of $510 \, nm$,while another star $X$ emits light with a maximum wavelength of $350 \, nm$. What is the ratio of the surface temperature of the Sun to that of star $X$?

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of equal surface area have thermal emissivities of $0.01$ and $0.81$ respectively. The two bodies are radiating energy at the same rate. Maximum energy is radiated from the two bodies $A$ and $B$ at wavelengths $\lambda_A$ and $\lambda_B$ respectively. The difference in these two wavelengths is $1 \mu m$. If the temperature of body $A$ is $5802 \ K$, then the value of $\lambda_B$ is:
