Concept explainers

Wien's displacement law

Students often get confused between Wien's displacement law and Planck's radiation law. Although both are historically related, yet they are conceptually different. Planck's law helps determine the spectrum of a blackbody, while Wien's law determines the relationship between peak wavelength and temperature.

Here you are invited to explore the process of human vision. (a) The flux of visible photons reaching Earth from the North Star is about 4 x 103 mm-2s-1. Of these photons, 30 per cent are absorbed or scattered by the atmosphere and 25 per cent, of the surviving photons are scattered by the surface of the cornea of the eye. A further 9 per cent ar absorbed inside the cornea. The area of the pupil at night is about 40 mm2 and the response t ime of the eye is about 0.1 s.
