ABSTRACT
Every material becomes energy after it reaches certain temperature, and there is a need to define a concept of temperature for electromagnetic waves. It is fixed in this article such that the Wien’s displacement law provides a most successful definition for temperature of electromagnetic waves. Some other displacement laws are derived in this article. The reasons for choosing the Wien’s displacement law as the best displacement law for defining temperature of electromagnetic waves are explained. Moreover upper bound and lower bound for wavelengths of electromagnetic waves are obtained.
