APeak wavelength times T is constant
BPeak wavelength is proportional to T
CPeak wavelength goes as T to the fourth
DPeak wavelength is independent of T
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Peak wavelength times T is constant
The wavelength of maximum emissive power varies inversely with absolute temperature, so lambda-max times T equals b.
