Two spherical stars $A$ and $B$ emit blackbody radiation. The radius of $A$ is $400$ times that of $B$ and $A$ emits $10^4$ times the power emitted from $B$. The ratio $\left(\lambda_A / \lambda_B\right)$ of their wavelengths $\lambda_A$ and $\lambda_B$ at which the peaks occur in their respective radiation curves is
