Calculations based on Wien's displacement law

Wien's displacement law

The Wien's Displacement Law provides the wavelength where the spectral radiance has maximum value.

Wien's displacement law states that the black body radiation curve for different temperatures peaks at a wavelength inversely proportional to the temperature. 

Maximum wavelength = Wien's displacement constant / Temperature

The equation is:

λmax= b/T

Where:

λmax = The peak of the wavelength

b= Wien's displacement constant. (2.9*10(−3) m K)

T= Absolute Temperature in Kelvin.
