Under the suggestion of L. Levrel, I'll expand upon my comment.
We can look at the constants included within an equation to get an idea of whether it was theoretically derived, or an empirical result. If we have fundamental constants, such as $\hbar, \epsilon_0, e, c,$ etc, then it was probably theoretically derived. An empirical law would have an arbitrary constant which was measured by experiment.
An interesting example would be the Stefan-Boltzmann law.
$$P = \sigma T^4$$
This was originally derived experimentally, with $\sigma$ being denoted as the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, which was measured experimentally - thus it was an empirical law.
However, after Planck published his law, it was possible to see that the Stefan-Boltzmann constant could be expressed in terms of fundamental constants
$$\sigma = \frac{2 \pi^5 k_B^4}{15 c^2 h^3} $$
Turning this empirical equation into a theoretical one.
