Question

The relationship between temperature and peak wavelength is given by an equation known as Wien's Law:

λmax = 0.29/T
In this equation:
λ(max)= peak wavelength (cm)
T = temperature (K)
Based on your knowledge of proportionality relationships, what is the relationship between temperature and peak wavelength?
O They are directly proportional.
O They are inversely proportional.
O They are exponentially proportional.
O They are unrelated.

Answer 1

O They are inversely proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wien's displacement law asserts that for the black-body radiation the curve for distinct temperatures will peak at distinct wavelengths are varying inversely proportional to the temperatures.

Wien's Law given as

`\lambda _(max)=(0.29)/(T)`

Where

T=Temperature (In Kelvin unit)

λ(max)= Peak wavelength (In cm unit)

Therefore we can say that wavelength and temperature are inversely proportional.
