14. A spherical shell placed in an open atmosphere has initial temperature 2.2T0 (T0 is

inside the spherical shell is giving it a constant power P0 = 0.4s T04 (where , s and 
represents Stefan’s constant, surface area and emissivity of material of shell). When the
shell attains the steady state, the wavelength of radiation corresponding to maximum
