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.

Explain the difference between radiation as it is used in most everyday language and radiation as it is used in an astronomical context.
Check Your Understanding Radiation propagates in all directions from its source, much as electromagnetic radiation from a light bulb. Is activity concept more analogous to power, intensity, or brightness?
How can treating food with ionizing radiation help keep it from spoiling? UV is not very penetrating. What else could be used?
Why is it dangerous to be exposed to X-rays but not (or at least much less) dangerous to be exposed to radio waves?
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum that reaches the Earth from the Sun. It has wave-lengths shorter than those of visible light, making it invisible to the naked eye. These wavelengths are classified as UVA, UVB, or UVC, with UVA the longest of the three at 320 nm to 400 nm. Both the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the World Health Organization have identified UV as a proven human carcinogen. Many experts believe that, especially for fair-skinned people, UV radiation frequently plays a key role in melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, which kills more than 8000 Americans each year. UVB has a wave-length between 280 nm and 320 nm. Determine the frequency ranges of UVA and UVB.
