Concept explainers

Wien's displacement law

Students often get confused between Wien's displacement law and Planck's radiation law. Although both are historically related, yet they are conceptually different. Planck's law helps determine the spectrum of a blackbody, while Wien's law determines the relationship between peak wavelength and temperature.

Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) in the 100 MeV-1.00 GeV energy range pose the greatest radiation danger to astronauts in Earth orbit or on future interplanetary missions. As we shall find in the chapter on nuclear physics, fast-moving protons are 10 times as effective in causing radiation damage as x-rays of the same energy. Approximately 85% of GCRS are fast-moving protons, and spacecraft traveling in interplanetary space would require thick shielding to attenuate not only the incident cosmic rays, but also the shower of secondary particles created when the cosmic ray particles impacted the shielding material. (a) What is the speed (in terms of c) of a 1.00 GeV cosmic ray proton? The rest mass of the proton is 938 MeV. The phrase "a 1.00 GeV cosmic ray proton" means that the kinetic energy of the proton is 1.00 GeV.
