Wien’s Displacement Law

  • 🔥 Hotter objects emit light with shorter wavelengths (bluer light)

  • ❄️ Cooler objects emit light with longer wavelengths (redder light)

  • 🔍 Example: A stove coil turns from red to white as it heats up!

  • This law explains why blue stars are hotter and red stars are cooler.
