On observing light from three different stars $P, Q$ and $R$, it was found that the intensity of violet colour is maximum in the spectrum of $P$, the intensity of green colour is maximum in the spectrum of $R$, and the intensity of red colour is maximum in the spectrum of $Q$. If $T_P, T_Q$ and $T_R$ are the respective absolute temperatures of $P, Q$ and $R$, then it can be concluded from the above observations that:

$A$ black body is at a temperature of $2880\;K$. The energy of radiation emitted by this object with wavelength between $499\;nm$ and $500\;nm$ is ${U_1}$,between $999\;nm$ and $1000\;nm$ is ${U_2}$ and between $1499\;nm$ and $1500\;nm$ is ${U_3}$. The Wien's constant $b = 2.88 \times {10^6}\;nm\,K$. Then
