The surface temperature of a distant star can be determined from its wavelength spectrum using Wien’s Law, which relates the temperature of a black body to the wavelength at which it emits the most radiation.
The spectrum of the star's light is obtained, and the wavelength of the peak intensity from the spectrum of the star is determined. The surface temperature of the star is then determined using Wien’s displacement law, which is given mathematically as:
where is Wien’s constant.
