Two stars $P$ and $Q$ are observed at night. Star $P$ appears reddish while star $Q$ is white. From this we conclude:

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 at a temperature of $1640 \ K$ has the wavelength corresponding to maximum emission equal to $1.75 \ \mu m$. Assuming the moon to be a perfectly black body,the temperature of the moon,if the wavelength corresponding to maximum emission is $14.35 \ \mu m$,is ...... $K$.

The energy distribution $E$ with the wavelength $\lambda$ for black body radiation at temperature $T \ K$ is shown in the figure. As the temperature is increased,the maxima will:
