Describe in your own words how the theory of black-body radiation was formulated by Rayleigh and Jeans. Be sure to include how the density of the modes of radiation and the Boltzmann distribution were incorporated into their description. Discuss the shortcomings of the Rayleigh-Jean theory. Describe how Planck modified the theory to make it successful. Your answer should not exceed 2 handwritten pages. Your answer should be mostly descriptive, rather than a detailed mathematical derivation. You may find that including a few equations may help you present the material in a clear way
I am sending you a notes written by an IITians. They have explained very accurately all the think...for any query regarding comment in comments box. THANK YOU.
