The maximum energy in the thermal radiation from a hot source occurs at a wavelength of 11 x 10−5 cm. According to Wien's law, the temperature of the source (on the Kelvin scale) will be n times the temperature of another source (on the Kelvin scale) for which the wavelength at maximum energy is 5.5 x 10−5 cm. The value of n is:

Two stars ‘A’ and ‘B’ radiate maximum energy at 5200 Å and 6500 Å respectively. Then the ratio of absolute temperatures of stars ‘A’ and ‘B’ is ______.
A black body radiates maximum energy at wavelength ‘λ’ and its emissive power is ‘E’. Now due to change in temperature of that body, it radiates maximum energy at wavelength `(3λ)/4`. At that temperature emissive power is ______.
