Wien's Law
This radiation law suggests that the wavelength of maximum emission of any body is inversely proportional to its absolute temperature. The following equation mathematically describes this law: lmax = C/T where lmax is the body's maximum emitted wavelength of radiation in micrometers (µm), C is a constant equal to 0.2897, and T is the temperature of the body in Kelvins.
