Answer

(b) $\lambda_{max,A}= 2\lambda_{max,B}$

Work Step by Step

According to Wiens displacement law $\lambda_{max} T = 2.90 \times 10^{-3}$ m.K for blackbody A $\lambda_{max,A} \times 3000K = 2.90 \times 10^{-3}$ m.K .......equation (1) similarly for blackbody B $\lambda_{max,B} \times6000K = 2.90 \times 10^{-3}$ m.K .......equation (2) divide equation (1) by Equation (2) $\frac{$\lambda_{max,A} \times 3000K$}{$\lambda_{max,B} \times6000K$} $= $\frac{2.90 \times 10^{-3}$ m.K}{2.90 \times 10^{-3}$ m.K} $ will give us $\lambda_{max,A}= 2\lambda_{max,B}$
