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

Guida passo passo

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

Esempi risolti

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

Errori comuni da evitare

  • Confusing peak with average wavelength
  • Forgetting Kelvin temperature required

Domande frequenti

Why does hotter mean shorter wavelength?

Higher vibration frequency, shorter wavelength for same photons.
