I am drawing a blank when it comes to equation transformation. Wikipedia gives two equations for the spectral radiance of black body:
- First as a function of frequency ν: I(ν,T)=2hν3c2⋅1ehνkT−1
- Then as a function of wavelength λ : I′(λ,T)=2hc2λ5⋅1ehcλkT−1
And I don't see how they get λ5 term. I'm assuming that the transformation is just ν→c/λ, but that gives 2hν3c2⇒2hcλ3≠2hc2λ5
Similar transformation happens at other parts in the article also. I'm obviously missing something, likely completely trivial.

Expanding on Ron's comment:
I(ν,T)dν=2hν3c2dνehνkT−1 ν→cλ,dν→cdλλ2 I(λ,T)dλ=2hc2(cλ)31ehcλkT−1cdλλ2=2hc2λ5dλehcλkT−1
