Our Sun emits most of its radiation at a wavelength of 550nm. If a star radiates at a wavelength of 1375nm and is 2.50 times hotter than our Sun, it would emit most of its radiation at a wavelength of 550nm.

"The intensity of radiation emitted by the sun has its maximum value at a wavelength of 510 nm and that emitted by the north star has the maximum value at 350 nm. If these stars behave like a black bodies, the ratio of the surface temperature of the sun and the north star is"
