As a star's temperature increases, the frequency of peak emission also increases.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is known as Wien's Law, which states that the wavelength of maximum emission from a star is inversely proportional to its temperature. As temperature increases, the peak emission shifts to shorter, bluer wavelengths. This is known as Wien's Law and states that the wavelength at which a star emits the most energy (peak emission) is inversely proportional to its temperature. As the temperature increases, the wavelength decreases and the frequency increases.
