Wien’s displacement law describes one of the relations between the emission spectrum of a black body and its temperature. It states that the higher the temperature, the lower the wavelength λmax for which the radiation curve reaches its maximum. The shift to shorter wavelengths corresponds to photons of higher energies. In other words, λmax (peak wavelength) is inversely proportional to temperature.
