Wilhelm Wien
Sign in to saveAlso known as Wilhelm Carl Werner Otto Fritz Franz Wien
German physicist (1864-1928)
Wilhelm Wien was a German physicist who made important discoveries about how heat and light behave, particularly in understanding the radiation emitted by hot objects. His work laid crucial groundwork for modern physics and earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1911.

Encyclopedic overview
Wilhelm Carl Werner Otto Fritz Franz Wien ( German: [ˈvɪlhɛlm ˈviːn] ; 13 January 1864 – 30 August 1928) was a German physicist who used theories about heat and electromagnetism to deduce Wien's displacement law, which calculates the emission of a blackbody at any temperature from the emission at any one reference temperature.
Wien also formulated an expression for the black-body radiation, which is correct in the photon-gas limit. His arguments were based on the notion of adiabatic invariance, and were instrumental for the formulation of quantum mechanics. Wien received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1911 for his work on heat radiation.
