The blackbody radiation curve for different temperatures peaks at a wavelength is inversely proportional to the temperature. This is stated by: 

The blackbody radiation curve for different temperatures peaks at a wavelength is inversely proportional to the temperature. This is stated by:  Correct Answer Wein's law

Explanation:

Wein's law: It states that the blackbody radiation curve for different temperatures peaks at a wavelength is inversely proportional to the temperature.

  • ​Wien’s law or Wien’s displacement law, named after Wilhelm Wien was derived in the year 1893.

Mathematical representation of the law:

λmax = b/T

Where, b = Wien’s displacement constant = 2.8977 × 103 m.K, T = Temperature in kelvins.

Additional Information

  • Planck's law of black-body radiation: Planck's law describes the spectral density of electromagnetic radiation emitted by a black body in thermal equilibrium at a given temperature T when there is no net flow of matter and energy between the body and its environment.

Stefan–Boltzmann law: The Stefan–Boltzmann law describes the power radiated per unit time from a black body in terms of its temperature.
