An experimentally discovered law applicable to thermal continuum radiation, which states that the wavelength of maximum emission intensity is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature.
This radiation law suggests that the wavelength of maximum emission of any body is inversely proportional to its absolute temperature. The following equation mathematically describes this law: max = / where max is the body's maximum emitted wavelength of radiation in micrometers (µm), is a constant equal to 0.2897, and is the temperature of the body in Kelvins.
Relation which gives the connection between the wavelength at which a black-body curve peaks and the temperature of the emitter. The temperature is inversely proportional to the peak wavelength, so the hotter the object, the bluer its radiation.
Simple formula stating that the wavelength at which the peak energy of a radiating blackbody occurs varies inversely with the temperature of the body. As the temperature rises, the maximum of the blackbody's energy curve is displaced toward the shorter wavelengths.
The law that notes at which wavelength an object will produce the maximum amount of energy in its continuum spectrum. This wavelength point is only dependent upon the emitting object's temperature.
Formula that relates the temperature of a black-body to the wavelength at which it emits the greatest intensity of radiation.
the relation between the temperature of a blackbody and the wavelength at which its monochromatic luminosity peaks, max T = 2.898 x 10-3 m K. Strictly only valid for blackbodies, but a reasonable approximation for stars.
The wavelength at which a blackbody emits the greatest amount of radiation is inversely proportional to its absolute temperature. [H76
One of the radiation laws which states that the wavelength of maximum radiation intensity for a black body is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature of the radiating black body.
(Also called Wien's displacement law.) A radiation law that is used to relate the wavelength of maximum emission from a blackbody inversely to its absolute temperature. It is expressed as: where λ is the wavelength of maximum emittance in microns, and is the blackbody temperature in Kelvin. See also color temperature.
