In physics, Wien's displacement law states that the black-body radiation curve for different temperatures will peak at different wavelengths that are inversely proportional to the temperature. The shift of that peak is a direct consequence of the Planck radiation law , which describes the spectral brightness or intensity of black-body radiation ...
Comparison of Wien’s curve and the Planck curve. 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.
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 ...
A consequence of Wien's displacement law is that the wavelength at which the intensity per unit wavelength of the radiation produced by a black body has a local maximum or peak, , is a function only of the temperature: =, where the constant b, known as Wien's displacement constant, is equal to + 2.897 771 955 × 10 −3 m K.

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 ...
In fact the "strong version" is the "Wien’s fifth power law: "According to this law, the maximum energy of emitted radiation Em is directly proportional to the fifth power of absolute temperature i.e. 𝐸 𝑚 ∝ 𝑇 5 or 𝐸 𝑚 = 𝐾 𝑇 5." I love this kind of text speaking about power but writing energy of emitted radiation.
The value of the Draper point can be calculated using Wien's displacement law: the peak frequency (in hertz) emitted by a blackbody relates to temperature as follows: [4] =, where k is the Boltzmann constant, h is the Planck constant,
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
