Blackbody / Wien's Law calculator

Peak wavelength & total exitance of a blackbody.

Category: Photonics

Formula: λpk = b/T · M = σT⁴

Inputs

InputParameterUnitDefault
TemperatureTK5778

Result with the default inputs

  • Peak λ: 501.5182 nm
  • Exitance: 6.3201e+7 W/m²

Open it with your own values: put each input in the address as a parameter, for example /calculators/blackbody-wiens-law?T=5778. A unit other than the listed one goes in <parameter>_unit.
