Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Wien's displacement law, the peak wavelength emitted is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature. So, when the absolute temperature is tripled, the peak wavelength emitted will decrease by a factor of 1/3 (i.e. one-third). Therefore, the correct choice is A) 1/3.
