Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of equal surface area have thermal emissivities of $0.01$ and $0.81$ respectively. The two bodies are radiating energy at the same rate. Maximum energy is radiated from the two bodies $A$ and $B$ at wavelengths $\lambda_A$ and $\lambda_B$ respectively. The difference in these two wavelengths is $1 \mu m$. If the temperature of body $A$ is $5802 \ K$, then the value of $\lambda_B$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2} \mu m$
  • B
    $1 \mu m$
  • C
    $2 \mu m$
  • D
    $\frac{3}{2} \mu m$
