Black body
A
is a thermal radiator/emitter that absorbs perfectly across all wavelengths
2
Q
Stefan-Boltzman law
A
R(T) = σT^4
3
Q
Wien displacement law
A
λ peak = b/T

Q
Rayleigh Jeans Model
A
u(v,T) = 8πv^2/c^3 kT
5
Q
the ultraviolet catastrophe
A
Raleigh jeans model does not scale frequency as expected it tends to infinite energy
6
