  2. Thermal radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_radiation

    At any given temperature, there is a frequency f max at which the power emitted is a maximum. Wien's displacement law, and the fact that the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength, indicates that the peak frequency f max is proportional to the absolute temperature T of the black body. The photosphere of the sun, at a temperature ...

  3. Planck's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck's_law

    According to Planck's distribution law, the spectral energy density (energy per unit volume per unit frequency) at given temperature is given by: [4] [5] (,) = ⁡ alternatively, the law can be expressed for the spectral radiance of a body for frequency ν at absolute temperature T given as: [6] [7] [8] (,) = ⁡ where k B is the Boltzmann ...

    The relativistic Doppler effect causes a shift in the frequency f of light originating from a source that is moving in relation to the observer, so that the wave is observed to have frequency f': ′ = ⁡ /, where v is the velocity of the source in the observer's rest frame, θ is the angle between the velocity vector and the observer-source ...

    Using this plane-wave displacement, the equation of motion becomes the eigenvalue equation [15] [16] (,) = (), where M is the diagonal mass matrix and D is the harmonic dynamical matrix. Solving this eigenvalue equation gives the relation between the angular frequency ω p and the wave vector κ p , and this relation is called the phonon ...

    Each has an energy related to the frequency of the wave given by Planck's relation E = hf, where E is the energy of the photon, h is the Planck constant, 6.626 × 10 −34 J·s, and f is the frequency of the wave. [40] In a medium (other than vacuum), velocity factor or refractive index are considered, depending on frequency and application ...

  7. Wien's displacement law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wien's_displacement_law

    Each temperature curve peaks at a different wavelength and Wien's law describes the shift of that peak. There are a variety of ways of associating a characteristic wavelength or frequency with the Planck black-body emission spectrum. Each of these metrics scales similarly with temperature, a principle referred to as Wien's displacement law.

  8. Dispersion relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_relation

    The equation says the matter wave frequency in vacuum varies with wavenumber (= /) in the non-relativistic approximation. The variation has two parts: a constant part due to the de Broglie frequency of the rest mass ( ℏ ω 0 = m 0 c 2 {\displaystyle \hbar \omega _{0}=m_{0}c^{2}} ) and a quadratic part due to kinetic energy.

  9. List of equations in wave theory - Wikipedia

    The group velocity is the rate at which the wave envelope, i.e. the changes in amplitude, propagates. The wave envelope is the profile of the wave amplitudes; all transverse displacements are bound by the envelope profile.
