Wien's displacement law
In physics, a law of radiation stating that the wavelength carrying the maximum energy is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature of a black body: the hotter a body is, the shorter the wavelength. It has the form λmaxT = constant, where λmax is the wavelength of maximum intensity and T is the temperature. The law is named after German physicist Wilhelm Wien.
