Wilhelm Carl Werner Otto Fritz Franz Wien was born in a little town in East Prussia called Gaffken, which is close to Fischbach (nowadays: Primorsk) on January 13th 1864. In 1879 he was forced to quit high school due to his bad marks. After that he received private lessons which soon allowed him to go back to high school - this time in Königsberg -...
After 1888 Willy Wien participated in the task to solve the technical/economical problem whether gas or electrical light would be more favorable. Therefore it made sense to solve the question: what is radiation? As a physicist this had to be solved by measurements. For this purpose a special radiation source was built, the black body. The intensity...
During the winter term in 1899/1900 Wien was offered a professorship at the University of Würzburg as successor to Röntgen. He accepted in the spring of 1900. After twenty years the family with their four children Gerda, Waltraud, Karl and Hildegard finally settled down in Würzburg. The married couple moved into the big apartment on the top floor o...
Wilhelm Carl Werner Otto Fritz Franz „Willy“ Wien war ein deutscher Physiker. Er erforschte vor allem die Gesetzmäßigkeiten der Wärmestrahlung und erhielt 1911 dafür den Nobelpreis für Physik.
In 1898 Wien studied the canal rays discovered by Goldstein and concluded that they were the positive equivalent of the negatively-charged cathode rays. He measured their deviation by magnetic and electric fields and concluded that they are composed of positively-charged particles never heavier than electrons.
Wien’s law, relationship between the temperature of a blackbody (an ideal substance that emits and absorbs all frequencies of light) and the wavelength at which it emits the most light. It is named after German physicist Wilhelm Wien, who received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1911 for discovering.

The key principles were discovered in 1898 by the German physicist Wilhelm Wien (pronounced Veen). Wien discovered that all bodies constantly emit thermal radiation . Thermal radiation is always concentrated at certain wavelengths; you can see the peak of the solar spectrum at the color yellow.
Wien’s Displacement Law was orginally formulated by Wilhelm Wien in 1893. Wien used a thermodynamic thought experiment to derive his law. Wien considered a cavity with light inside slowly expanding in an adiabatic way. He found that the frequency and energy of the light change in the same way.
