For the frequency version of Planck law, differentiating x3/(ex−1) gives 3(1−e−x)=x at its nonzero maximum. Here x=hν/(kB​T), so the peak frequency is proportional to temperature. This peak differs from converting the peak of the wavelength version by ν=c/λ, because spectral densities transform with a Jacobian.
