Wien, Wilhelm Carl Werner Otto Fritz Franz

    0.03 sec.

Wien, Wilhelm Carl Werner Otto Fritz Franz (1864–1928)

German physicist who studied radiation and established the principle, since known as Wien's law, that the wavelength at which the radiation from an idealized radiating body is most intense is inversely proportional to the body's absolute temperature. (That is, the hotter the body, the shorter the wavelength.) He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1911 for his study of the laws governing the radiation of heat.
