According to Wien’s law, the wavelength λmax of maximum thermal emission of electromagnetic energy from a body of temperature T obeys

λmaxT = 2.898 x 10-3 m • K

Show that this law follows from the spectral energy den­sity dU/ obtained in Exercise 13. Obtain an expression drat, when solved, would yield the wavelength at which this function is maximum. The transcendental equation cannot be solved exactly, so it is: enough to: show that λ = 2.898 X 10-3 mK/T solves it to a reasonable degree of precision.
