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

Worked Examples

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

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Confusing peak with average wavelength
  • Forgetting Kelvin temperature required

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does hotter mean shorter wavelength?

Higher vibration frequency, shorter wavelength for same photons.
