The correct answer is: $\frac{2 \lambda}{3}$
According to Wien's displacement law,
$\begin{aligned} & \lambda_m T=\text { constant } \\ & \text { or } \quad \frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}=\frac{T_1}{T_2} \\ & \therefore \quad \frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda}=\frac{2000}{3000}=\frac{2}{3} \\ & \text { or } \quad \lambda_2=\frac{2}{3} \lambda \\ & \end{aligned}$
