Wilhelm Wien (January 13, 1864 – August 30, 1928) was a German physicist who, in 1893, used theories about heat and electromagnetism to compose Wien's Law, which relates the maximum emission of a flbody to its temperature.
Wien was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics for 1911.

 Wilhelm Wien - Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
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.
The method used by Wien resulted some 20 years later in the spectrography of masses, which has made possible the precise measurement of the masses of various atoms and their isotopes, necessary for the calculation of the energies released by nuclear reactions.
Wien was a member of the Academies of Sciences of Berlin, Göttingen, Vienna, Stockholm, Christiania and Washington, and an Honorary member of the Physical Society of Frankfurt-on-Main.

Planck, who was a colleague of Wien's when he was carrying out this work, later, in 1900, based quantum theory on the fact that Wien's law, while valid at high frequencies, broke down completely at low frequencies.
J J Thomson refined Wien's apparatus and conducted further experiments in 1913 then, after work by E Rutherford in 1919, Wien's particle was accepted and named the proton.
In 1912 [Einstein] turned by letter to W Wien with the request to measure the difference between the periods of oscillation of pendulums made of uranium and lead, as well as the proportionality of inertial and gravitational masses of a uranium and a lead weight, respectively, namely with a torsion balance.

 Stephen S. Wien: Admin. Proc. Rel. No. 34-49000 / December 29, 2003
Wien is 66 years old and asserts that the length of time since he has returned to the securities industry is comparable to the duration at issue in those cases in which the Commission has vacated an administrative bar: "Since the Order, Mr.
Wien contends that the Commission should balance the degree of necessity for continuing the bar and its accompanying restrictions against the hardship that it imposes.
As for hardship, Wien stresses"numerous time consuming application procedures, fees and an annual audit," and the "difficult economic climate" and "decline in consumer confidence in the equities markets," which to his thinking make it imperative that he be afforded greater professional mobility in the industry.

Wien's Law is an important formula that allows us to determine the temperature of a star.
Wien discovered that there was a direct relationship between the wavelength (or frequency) at which an object emits most of its energy and the temperature of that object.
Notice that as the wavelength where the most energy is given off (maximum wavelength) goes from red to green to blue, the temperature increases.
