Wien's Displacement Law
Wien’s displacement law says that the wavelength of the maximum emitted
radiation is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature (°K). In other
words, hotter objects radiate more energy at shorter wavelengths than do cooler
bodies at all wavelengths. This allows us to determine the temperature of other
stars depending on its color. Something that glows blue hot is much warmer than
one that glow red hot!
