Wien’s Displacement Law Calculator
🔥 Heat & thermodynamics. Use the Wien’s displacement law formula to find peak wavelength, temperature: pick the value you want, type the others, and the answer updates as you go.
Peak wavelength5 × 10⁻⁷ m
Pick the ○ next to the value you want to find, fill in the others, and it solves as you type.
What each letter means
| Quantity | Unit |
|---|---|
| Peak wavelength | m |
| Temperature | K |
Worked example
Find the peak wavelength when Temperature = 5796 K.
Using T = 2.898 × 10^(-3) m K: Peak wavelength = 5 × 10⁻⁷ m.
Frequently asked questions
What is the formula for Wien’s displacement law?
T = 2.898 × 10^(-3) m K.
What do the letters stand for, and what units are used?
Peak wavelength in m, Temperature in K.
How do you calculate peak wavelength?
Put the values into T = 2.898 × 10^(-3) m K. For example, with Temperature = 5796 K, peak wavelength = 5 × 10⁻⁷ m.
Can I solve for a different value?
Yes. In the calculator above, pick the circle next to any value (peak wavelength, temperature) and fill in the others: it rearranges the formula for you.
