The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Wien’s displacement law: \[ \lambda_{\max} T = 2898 \, \mu m \cdot K \]

Step 1: Convert temperature to Kelvin.

\[ T = 1727 + 273 = 2000 K \]

Step 2: Apply Wien’s law.

\[ \lambda_{\max} = \frac{2898}{2000} \] \[ \lambda_{\max} = 1.449 \, \mu m \]

Step 3: Final result.

\[ \boxed{1.45 \, \mu m} \]
