Peak Wavelength vs Temperature

Fórmula

Wien's Displacement Law

The wavelength at which a blackbody emits most intensely is inversely proportional to its temperature.

Formula

lambda_max = b / T

  • *b* = 2.898 x 10^-3 m K (Wien displacement constant)
  • *T* = temperature in kelvin
  • Hotter objects peak at shorter (bluer) wavelengths; cooler objects peak at longer (redder) wavelengths.

    Ejemplo Resuelto

    The Sun's surface at 5778 K.

    1. 01lambda_max = b / T
    2. 02lambda_max = 2.898e-3 / 5778
    3. 03lambda_max = 5.015e-7 m = 501.5 nm
    4. 04This falls in the green part of the visible spectrum.

    Preguntas Frecuentes

    Why does the Sun appear yellow-white if it peaks in green?

    The Sun emits across the entire visible spectrum. Our eyes perceive the broad combination as white or slightly yellow, not green.

    What does a room-temperature object emit?

    At 300 K, the peak is at about 9.66 micrometres, in the mid-infrared. This is why thermal cameras work in the infrared.

    Is this law exact?

    Wien's law gives the peak of the Planck spectrum as a function of wavelength. The peak in frequency differs slightly because the Planck function has different shapes in wavelength vs. frequency space.
