Wien's theories about heat and electromagnetism led to which law?
Wien's displacement law
Newton's law of motion
Boyle's law
Gas law
Answer
Wien's displacement law states that the wavelength of light emitted by a black body at a given temperature is inversely proportional to its temperature. In other words, the hotter the black body, the shorter the wavelength of light it emits. This law is a fundamental law of physics and has been used to determine the temperature of stars and other astronomical objects.
