Compared with the peak wavelength given off by the Sun, what is the peak wavelength given off by a hotter star?

A hotter star has a higher surface temperature, so its peak emission shifts to a shorter wavelength, according to Wien’s displacement law. Shorter-wavelength light has higher energy per photon, so the peak is at a shorter wavelength and higher energy. The correct choice is C.
