Wilhelm Carl Werner Otto Fritz Franz Wien (German pronunciation: [ˈvɪlhɛlm ˈviːn] ⓘ; 13 January 1864 – 30 August 1928) was a German physicist who, in 1893, 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 ...
Wilhelm Wien was a German physicist who received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1911 for his displacement law concerning the radiation emitted by the perfectly efficient blackbody (a surface that absorbs all radiant energy falling on it).
Biographical. Wilhelm Wien was born on January 13, 1864 at Fischhausen, in East Prussia. He was the son of the landowner Carl Wien, and seemed destined for the life of a gentleman farmer, but an economic crisis and his own secret sense of vocation led him to University studies.
Jan 13, 2016 · In 1893 Wilhelm Wien formulated his displacement law, which indicates at which wavelength the radiation is most intense at a certain temperature. He subsequently also formulated a law indicating how the radiation spectrum varies as temperature changes.
The Nobel Prize in Physics 1911 was awarded to Wilhelm Wien "for his discoveries regarding the laws governing the radiation of heat"
Wilhelm Wien was the only child of Carl Wien and Caroline Gertz who were both of noble Prussian birth. It was his parents' sense of social propriety that made them give their son six given names. In later life, Wilhelm Wien was known as 'Willy' to his friends and colleagues.
Wilhelm Wien was a German physicist and Nobel-Prize winner who pioneered the study of quantum physics. Wien was born in East Prussia in 1864 to a landholding family. He broke away from his father’s life as a gentleman farmer to study mathematics and physics at the Universities of Göttingen and Berlin.
May 8, 2018 · Wilhelm Wien [1] (vĬl´hĕlm vēn), 1864–1928, German physicist. He was professor at the universities of Giessen (1899), Würzburg (1900–1920), and Munich (from 1920). He received the 1911 Nobel Prize [2] in Physics for his studies on the radiation of heat from black objects.
Wien, Wilhelm (1864-1928) German physicist who discovered Wien's displacement law, which states that the wavelength of maximum intensity of emission for a blackbody is given by a constant over the temperature of the blackbody.
Aug 4, 2011 · Wilhelm Wien. Wilhelm Wien studied mathematics and natural sciences in Göttingen and went on to study mathematics and physics in Berlin. From 1883 to 1885 he worked in Hermann von Helmholtz's laboratory and was awarded his doctorate in 1886.
