What is it about?
The article is devoted to an important problem of quantum optics – the ambiguity of the interpretation of the Wien’s displacement law depending on the choice of the spectral scale (wavelength or frequency). This topic has both theoretical significance for understanding the fundamental laws of thermal radiation and practical application in astrophysics, thermodynamics and other fields.

Why is it important?
The results of the work can be useful for scientists and engineers working in the field of spectroscopy, astrophysics and thermal radiation. Of particular interest is the analysis of application to solar radiation, which is supported by numerical calculations.
Perspectives
The paper offers new perspectives on the problem, including analysis of mean values, medians, and logarithmic scales, which is rare in standard teaching materials. This makes the work valuable for further research and teaching of quantum optics.
