A filament with a fixed surface area radiates 40 W40\,\text{W} of power when operated at 2000 K2000\,\text{K}. Approximately what temperature should an identical filament reach if it is to radiate 160 W160\,\text{W}? a) 4000 K4000\,\text{K} b) 2800 K2800\,\text{K} c) 2400 K2400\,\text{K} d) 3200 K3200\,\text{K}
