Planck’s formula, when plotted graphically for various temperatures, produces a
family of curves. Following any particular Planck curve, the spectral emittance is zero
at λ = 0, then increases rapidly to a maximum at a wavelength
λ
max
and after passing
it approaches zero again at very long wavelengths. The higher the temperature, the
shorter the wavelength at which maximum occurs.

20.3.2 Wien’s displacement law
By differentiating Planck’s formula with respect to λ, and finding the maximum, we
have:
This is Wien’s formula (after Wilhelm Wien , 1864–1928), which expresses mathemati-
cally the common observation that colors vary from red to orange or yellow as the
temperature of a thermal radiator increases. The wavelength of the color is the same
as the wavelength calculated for
λ
max
. A good approximation of the value of
λ
max
for
a given blackbody temperature is obtained by applying the rule-of-thumb 3 000/T
μm. Thus, a very hot star such as Sirius (11 000 K), emitting bluish-white light, radiates
with the peak of spectral radiant emittance occurring within the invisible ultraviolet
spectrum, at wavelength 0.27 μm.
