It is initially observed that the maximum of the spectral radiance I(λ) of a blackbody is located at a wavelength of 1×10^-6 m; subsequently the temperature of the blackbody increases until the total emitted intensity I is twice that of the initial one. Determine the wavelength corresponding to the maximum of the final spectral radiance.
