Einstein-Brown Equation

The Einstein-Brown Equation describes how the intensity of light emitted by a blackbody (an idealized perfect absorber and emitter of radiation) changes with temperature. Specifically, it relates the energy emitted by an object to its absolute temperature, showing that as temperature increases, the emitted light shifts to shorter wavelengths. This principle helps in understanding phenomena like why hot objects glow (for instance, a heated metal changing color) and underpins many concepts in physics, from thermal radiation to astrophysics, illustrating the relationship between heat and electromagnetic radiation.
