The law which states that the wavelength of maximum radiation is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature of the emitting body is known as
Answer: A
This is Wien's displacement law.
\[\lambda_{max}T = b = 2.898\times10^{-3}\ \mathrm{m\,K}\] So the hotter a body, the shorter the wavelength at which it radiates most. It is why an iron heated in a fire glows red, then orange, then white, and why the sun's peak is in the visible while ours is in the infrared.
