We plot the intensity of the radiation emitted from an object at a certain temperature versus its wavelength.As we increase the temperature,the wavelength at which the spectrum peaks becomes shorter and shorter.This is an example of:
A) Stephan's law.
B) Kepler's first law.
C) Bode's law.
D) Wien's law.
