Wiens Law Solar spectrum Any heated solid or highly compressed gas gives continuous spectrum. Depends (mostly) on temperature alone (very weakly on composition). Wien s law is used to find the brightest color ????=0.0029 (? ?) ? (?) ???? - maximum emission wavelength T object temperature (in Kelvins) 2
