Near thermodynamic equilibrium, the emitted radiation is closely described by plancks law and because of its dependence on temperature, planck radiation is said to be thermal radiation, such that the higher the temperature of a body the more radiation it emits at every wavelength. On the other hand, wiens formula is very good in the high frequency region. G 1 are known as reduced planck units, because the planck mass is divided by v 8 also, the bekensteinhawking formula for the entropy of a black hole simplifies to s bh m bh 2 2 2. The distinction between value and numerical value as it applies to frequency and the planck constant is explained in more detail in this pdf file. The thermal radiation formula of planck 1900 arxiv.

Plancks radiation law, a mathematical relationship formulated in 1900 by german physicist max planck to explain the spectralenergy distribution of radiation emitted by a blackbody a hypothetical body that completely absorbs all radiant energy falling upon it, reaches some equilibrium temperature, and then reemits that energy as quickly as it absorbs it. Quantisation of radiation and the derivation of the planck spectrum. Max planck discovered a theory that energy is transferred in the form of chunks called as quanta, assigning as h.
