The blackbody emission spectrum of object A peaks in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum at a wavelength of 200 nm. That of object B peaks in the red region, at 650 nm. Which object is hotter, and, according to Wien's law, how many times hotter is it?

A blackbody emission spectrum of object A peaks in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum at a wavelength of 200 x 10^-9 m. That of object B peaks in the red region, at 600 x 10^-9 m. According to Wien's Law, how many times hotter is A than B? 3 times hotter 400 times hotter 800 times hotter 8 times hotter 1/3 as hot

A black body is at temperature of $2880 \mathrm{~K}$. The energy of radiation emitted by this object between wavelength $4990 \AA$ and $5000 \AA$ is $U_{1}$, between $9900 \AA$ and $10000 \AA$ is $U_{2}$ and between $14990 \AA$ and $15000 \AA$ is $U_{3}$, The Wein's constant is $b=2.88 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~K}$ then (a) $U_{2}>U_{1}$ (b) $U_{2}>U_{3}$ (c) $U_{1}=U_{3}<U_{2}$ (d) $U_{1}<U_{2}<U_{3}$
