$Assertion :$ For higher temperature, the peak emission wavelength of a blackbody shifts to lower wavelengths.
$Reason :$ Peak emission wavelength of a blackbody is proportional to the fourth power of temperature.

The maximum energy in thermal radiation from a source occurs at the wavelength $4000 \mathring A$. The effective temperature of the source is ....... $K$.

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:

The wavelength of maximum emission from a body at a temperature of $200 \, K$ is $14 \, \mu m$. If the temperature of the body is increased to $1000 \, K$,find the new wavelength of maximum emission.
