The correct choice is (b) False

The best explanation: Thermal radiation from a body shows a continuous spectrum of wavelengths. But at a given temperature there is a particular short range of wavelengths which contributes the maximum to the total radiant energy. The graph given below shows the intensity of different wavelengths at different temperatures.
