Title: Blackbody Radiation


1
Blackbody Radiation
Despite what textbooks say, energy is NOT
quantized in BB Rad. Action is quantized every
photon has action 2(h/2).
Energy is h?, and all values of ? occur at
various intensities
Planck never accepted quantized light. He
insisted that light was a disturbance on a
stationary medium, and quantization occurred only
at the points of emission and absorption by his
imagined resonators (now known to be scattered
free electrons).
In 1913, in a speech nominating Einstein to the
Prussian Academy Planck said that in his
hypothesis on light quanta, he may have gone
overboard in his speculations. This should not be
held against him too much, for without occasional
risk or venture no genuine innovation can be
accomplished even in the exact sciences.
