Black body peak wavelength (Wien's law) shows where maximum thermal radiation occurs: λ_peak = 2.898×10⁻³ / T.

Guía paso a paso

  1. 1Input object temperature (Kelvin)
  2. 2Calculate peak wavelength
  3. 3Determine radiation type: infrared, visible, ultraviolet

Ejemplos resueltos

Entrada
T = 5778 K (Sun)
Resultado
λ ≈ 501 nm (green, why Sun looks white)
Eyes sensitive to whole spectrum

Errores comunes a evitar

  • Confusing peak with average wavelength
  • Forgetting Kelvin temperature required

Preguntas frecuentes

Why does hotter mean shorter wavelength?

Higher vibration frequency, shorter wavelength for same photons.
