Concept explainers

Wien's displacement law

Students often get confused between Wien's displacement law and Planck's radiation law. Although both are historically related, yet they are conceptually different. Planck's law helps determine the spectrum of a blackbody, while Wien's law determines the relationship between peak wavelength and temperature.

Derive the approximate form of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle for energy and time, Eth, using the following arguments: Since the position of a particle is uncertain by x, where is the wavelength of the photon used to examine it, there is an uncertainty in the time the photon takes to traverse x. Furthermore, the photon has an energy related to its wavelength, and it can transfer some or all of this energy to the object being examined. Thus the uncertainty in the energy of the object is also related to . Find t and E ; then multiply them to give the approximate uncertainty principle.
