The spectral distribution of energy in black body radiation is described by Planck's law, which shows that the intensity of radiation emitted by a black body as a function of wavelength is dependent on its temperature. As the temperature increases, the peak of the emitted radiation shifts to shorter wavelengths, a phenomenon known as Wien's displacement law. The distribution is continuous and features a characteristic curve that rises steeply at lower wavelengths, reaches a maximum, and then falls off at higher wavelengths. This distribution illustrates that black bodies emit a wide range of wavelengths, with the total energy emitted increasing with temperature, as described by the Stefan-Boltzmann law.
