If we were to find advanced life on a planet which orbited reasonably near to a star of temperature 30000 Kelvin, to what wavelength of radiation (measured in nanometers, nm) might we reasonably predict their eyes would be most sensitive?

Wein’s displacement law
λ = b/T = 2.898•10^-3 m•K
λ = 9.66•10^-8 m = 96.6 nm
