	Wilhelm Wien - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wilhelm Carl Werner Otto Fritz Franz Wien (January 13, 1864 – August 30, 1928) was a German physicist who, in 1893, used theories about heat and electromagnetism to compose Wien's displacement law, which relates the maximum emission of a flbody to its temperature.
		Wien was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics for 1911.
		Wien was born at Fischhausen, in East Prussia (now Poland) as the son of landowner Carl Wien.

		Wilhelm Wien worked at the Physikalisch- Technische Reichsanstalt in Berlin- Charlottenburg where he was a colleague of Planck.
		Wien was appointed professor of physics at Giessen in 1899 and professor of physics at Munich in 1920.
		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.

	Wilhelm Wien - Biography
		Wilhelm Wien was born on January 13, 1864 at Fischhausen, in East Prussia.
		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.

		The Wien has its source in the western Wienerwald near Rekawinkel and its mouth at the eastern end of the city center of Vienna, next to the Urania, where it flows into the Donaukanal ("Danube canal"), a branch of the Danube.
		In its headwaters in the Wienerwald, the soil is underlain by sandstone.
		Thus the flow of the Wien can quickly increase from a creek-like 200 liters per second to (in the heaviest rains or during the spring snowmelt in the Wienerwald), 450,000 liters per second, a ratio of over 2000.

		In 1893 Wien stated in his law that this maximum wavelength is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature of the body.
		Because the accuracy of Wien's law declined for longer wavelengths, Max Planck was led to further investigations culminating in his quantum theory of radiation.
		Wien was appointed professor of physics at the University of Giessen in 1899 and at the University of Munich in 1920.

	BookRags: Wilhelm Wien Biography
		Wien's most productive period was the decade of the 1890s, when his main area of interest was the nature of flbody radiation.
		In about 1893 Wien began a theoretical analysis of the characteristics of flbody radiation beginning with the fundamental laws of thermodynamics.
		The first of these, now known as Wien's displacement law, says that the wavelength of radiation emitted by a flbody is inversely proportional to the temperature of the body.

	Eugen Goldstein, Wilhelm Wien, en de kanaalstralen, 1886-1912 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In this article, the early history of canal rays is analyzed, starting from Eugen Goldstein's discovery of the phenomenon in 1886 and Wilhelm Wien's subsequent investigations from 1897 until 1912.
		Wien argued that canal rays consist of positively charged particles, which are the counterparts of the negatively charged cathode rays (electrons).
		After this historical description, the article examines possible reasons why the canal rays were ignored for such a long time after their discovery, the highly experimental character of Wien's investigations (in spite of his reputation as a theoretician), and the relationship between Wien's work and J.J. Thomson's research on canal rays.

	Planck's Hypothesis
		By combining the formulas of Wien and Rayleigh, Planck announced in 1900 a formula now known as Planck's radiation formula.
		From the time that Kirchhoff enunciated the principle "that the intensity of radiation from a fl body is dependent only upon the wavelength of the radiation and the temperature of the radiating body, a relationship worth while investigation", the theoretical treatment of the radiation problem has provided a rich, fertile source of fresh discoveries.
		Since it was clear, however, that this did not correspond exactly with the reality, but was rather, like a radiation law propounded by Lord Rayleigh, only a special case of the general radiation law, Planck sought for, and in 1900 found, a mathematical formula for the latter, which he derived theoretically later on.

	Information from Astronomical Spectra
		In the early 1890s Wilhelm Wien investigated thermodynamics and coined the term fl body for an ideal radiator.
		He used it to estimate the effective temperature of the Sun at 6,000 K which was much closer than the previous estimate of 10,000 K predicted using the Stefan-Boltzmann law of radiation.
		The value of Wien's relationship is that if you can measure the wavelength of maximum intensity from a spectrum, you can use it to calculate a value for the effective temperature.

		And, in 1896, a young German physicist working there, Wilhelm Wien, seemed to have stumbled onto an equation that worked.
		With the knowledge of the spectral distribution of the energy at one temperature, Wien's equation would produce the distribution for any other temperature.
		It was an experimentally accurate theory, but Wien had no explanation for why his equation worked; he knew only that it did.

		Wien's displacement law was established by the German physicist Wilhelm Wien (1864-1928) in 1893.
		The general idea therefore was to consider a very large number of oscillators having all possible frequencies, impose the condition that they be in thermal equilibrium with one another at the temperature in question and then determine what the distribution of intensities among the different oscillators satisfied these requirements.
		Wien proposed one variant that agreed with experiment at short wavelengths.

		On January 22, 1901, Queen Victoria died, ending the longest, perhaps the dourest, reign in Britain's history, nearly two-thirds of the 19th Century, and allowing her son Edward, whose love of fun extended to popular science lectures, to usher in the Edwardian era.
		Trouble was already brewing with Victoria's grandson in Berlin, Friedrich Wilhelm Viktor Albert, who was both King of Prussia and Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany.
		In 1930 Planck became President of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society for the Promotion of Science, but he suffered greatly during the Nazi years, when he remained in Germany because of his sense of duty but was openly opposed to the govenment's policies, particularly those regarding the Jews.
