Working Principle

Wien's displacement law states that the blackbody radiation curve for a specific temperature will peak at a specific wavelength. The relationship between the peak wavelength (λmax) and the temperature (T) of a blackbody is given by the formula:

λmax = 2.898 × 10-3 m·K / T

where λmax is the peak wavelength in meters and T is the temperature in Kelvin. This law is useful in astrophysics and other fields where the temperature of a blackbody can be determined from its radiation.
