The energy spectrum of a black body has maximum energy at a wavelength of $\lambda_0$. Now, the temperature of the black body is increased such that the maximum energy is obtained at a wavelength of $3\lambda_0/4$. By what factor will the power radiated by the black body increase?

  • A
    $256/81$
  • B
    $64/27$
  • C
    $16/9$
  • D
    $4/3$
