  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 ...

    Dulong–Petit law states the classical expression for the specific heat capacity of a crystal due to its lattice vibrations. Named for Pierre Louis Dulong and Alexis Thérèse Petit. Dunbar's number is a theoretical cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships. No precise value has been ...

  4. 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.

  5. Black-body radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-body_radiation

    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.

  7. 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

  8. Longevity myths - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longevity_myths

    Some scientists estimate that in case of the most ideal conditions people can live up to 127 years. [5] [6] This does not exclude the theoretical possibility that in the case of a fortunate combination of mutations there could be a person who lives longer. Though the lifespan of humans is one of the longest in nature, there are animals that ...

  9. Stefan–Boltzmann law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan–Boltzmann_law

    The Stefan–Boltzmann law, also known as Stefan's law, describes the intensity of the thermal radiation emitted by matter in terms of that matter's temperature. It is named for Josef Stefan , who empirically derived the relationship, and Ludwig Boltzmann who derived the law theoretically.
