The graph shows the spectral intensity of electromagnetic radiation emitted by a blackbody plotted against wavelength at a constant initial temperature.

Blackbody radiation curve

The temperature of the blackbody is now decreased.

Which row correctly describes the change in the peak frequency (fpeakf_{\text{peak}}fpeak​) of the emitted radiation and the change in the spectral intensity of the radiation within the long-wavelength infrared region?

Peak frequency decreases; spectral intensity decreases

Peak frequency decreases; spectral intensity increases

Peak frequency increases; spectral intensity decreases

Peak frequency increases; spectral intensity increases
