Wilhelm Wien's arguments were based on the concept of what?
Quantum entanglement
Adiabatic invariance
Superposition
Particle-wave duality
Answer
Adiabatic invariance is the conservation of a quantity in a system undergoing an adiabatic process. The adiabatic invariant is related to the action of the system and is conserved when the system's potential energy is independent of its generalized coordinates. Wilhelm Wien's arguments were based on the concept of adiabatic invariance, and he used it to derive his law of blackbody radiation.
