    Cards (2)

    • Wien’s displacement law
      λmax ∝ 1 / T , the peak wavelength at which the intensity of radiation from a black body is max is inversely proportional to the absolute temp_ T of the black body.
    • Black body
      An idealized object that absorbs all the electromagnetic radiation incident on it and, when distribution of wavelengths at a specific temp_.
