Wilhelm Wien, a renowned German physicist, formulated Wien’s displacement law and calculated blackbody emission at various temperatures. He also contributed to the foundation of quantum mechanics by developing an expression for black-body radiation in the photon-gas limit. His groundbreaking work on heat radiation led to him being awarded the Nobel Prize in 1911. Wien’s concept of adiabatic invariance played a crucial role in his scientific endeavors. Throughout his career, he made significant contributions to the fields of heat and electromagnetism, leaving a lasting impact on the field of physics.
