The wavelength at which the spectrum emitted from a blackbody is most intense is proportional to what power of the blackbody's Kelvin temperature? A) T B) 1/T C) T² D) T⁴

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The wavelength at which the spectrum emitted from a blackbody is most intense is inversely proportional to the temperature of the blackbody, as described by Wien's displacement law. This relationship is represented as λ_max ∝ 1/T, where λ_max is the wavelength of peak emission and T is the temperature in Kelvin.
