PLANCK’S DISTRIBUTION LAW
Introduction
Planck’s Distribution Law is a fundamental idea in quantum
mechanics that explains how energy is distributed among different
wavelengths or frequencies in blackbody radiation. Classical physics
could not explain this distribution accurately, leading to the
“ultraviolet catastrophe.” Max Planck resolved this by introducing
the concept that energy is quantized.
Blackbody and Blackbody Radiation
“A blackbody is an ideal object that absorbs all incident radiation
and emits radiation with maximum efficiency.”
The radiation emitted by a blackbody depends only on its
temperature.
Key characteristics:
Absorbs all wavelengths
Emits a continuous spectrum
Perfect radiato
Failure of Classical Physics
Classical theories, especially the Rayleigh–Jeans Law, failed to
explain blackbody radiation at high frequencies. They predicted
