  2. Wien's displacement law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wien's_displacement_law

    Formally, the wavelength version of Wien's displacement law states that the spectral radiance of black-body radiation per unit wavelength, peaks at the wavelength given by: = where T is the absolute temperature and b is a constant of proportionality called Wien's displacement constant, equal to 2.897 771 955... × 10 −3 m⋅K, [1] [2] or b ...

    Hick's law, in psychology, describes the time it takes for a person to make a decision as a function of the number of possible choices. Hickam's dictum , in medicine , is commonly stated as "Patients can have as many diseases as they damn well please" and is a counterargument to the use of Occam's razor .

    Stefan–Boltzmann law: Surface temperature of any objects radiate energy and shows specific properties. These properties are calculated by Boltzmann law. 2. Wien's displacement law: Wien's displacement law explains the relation between temperature and the wavelength of radiation. It states that the wavelength of radiation emitted from a ...

  5. Wien approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wien_approximation

    Wien's approximation (also sometimes called Wien's law or the Wien distribution law) is a law of physics used to describe the spectrum of thermal radiation (frequently called the blackbody function). This law was first derived by Wilhelm Wien in 1896.

    The article on Wien's displacement law is not concerned with the experimental methods with which black-body radiation curves may be obtained and the wavelength at which the curve peaks does not depend on whether one measures energy or power, so for the purpose of illustrating the law this is immaterial. That said, I agree that using energy ...

  7. Thermal radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_radiation

    Wien's displacement law, and the fact that the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength, indicates that the peak frequency f max is proportional to the absolute temperature T of the black body. The photosphere of the sun, at a temperature of approximately 6000 K, emits radiation principally in the (human-)visible portion of the ...

  8. Stefan–Boltzmann law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan–Boltzmann_law

    Deriving the Stefan–Boltzmann Law using Planck's law. The law can be derived by considering a small flat black body surface radiating out into a half-sphere. This derivation uses spherical coordinates , with θ as the zenith angle and φ as the azimuthal angle; and the small flat blackbody surface lies on the xy-plane, where θ = π / 2 .

  9. Wien's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wien's_law

    Wien's law or Wien law may refer to: . Wien approximation, an equation used to describe the short-wavelength (high frequency) spectrum of thermal radiation; Wien's displacement law, an equation that describes the relationship between the temperature of an object and the peak wavelength or frequency of the emitted light
