Solution

The ideal body which emits and adsorbs radiations of all frequencies is called a black body and the radiation emitted by such a body is called black body radiation. The exact frequency distribution of the emitted radiation from black body depends only on its temperature. At a given temperature intensity of radiation emitted increases with decrease of wavelength, reaches a maximum value at a given wavelength and then starts decreasing with further decrease of wavelength.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
