Hi,
I'm supposed to prove that Wien's Law: [tex] P(\lambda,T) = \frac{f(\lambda T)}{\lambda^5} [/tex] includes Stefan-Botlzmann's Law [tex] R(T) = \sigma T^4[/tex] and Wien's Displacement Law: [tex]\lambda_{max} T = b[/tex]
For Wien's Displacement Law:
I know that I would have to find when [tex]P(\lambda ,T)[/tex] graphed against [tex]\lambda[/tex] has a slope of 0. So I think I need to find the derivative with respect to [tex]\lambda[/tex]. But the only two equations for [tex]P(\lambda,T) [/tex] I have are [tex] P(\lambda,T) = \frac{f(\lambda T)}{\lambda^5} [/tex] and [tex]P(\lambda,T) = \frac{8\pi kT}{\lambda^4} [/tex]
So if I take the derivative of [tex] P(\lambda,T) = \frac{8\pi kT}{\lambda^4} [/tex] with respect to [tex]\lambda[/tex] I have
[tex]8\pi kT} * (-4) * \lambda^{-5} = 0 [/tex] Where I'm guessing that everything except [tex] \lambda [/tex] is being held constant and I don't know what to do from there.
Any hints or corrections of things I said would be appreciated. Thanks.
