Planck's law of radiation

Japanese: プランクの放射則 - プランクのほうしゃそく(英語表記)Planck’s law of radiation
Planck's law of radiation
It is commonly known as Planck's formula. It is a formula that shows the ratio of light of various wavelengths contained in radiation that is in thermal equilibrium with an object at absolute temperature T. When an object is heated, it begins to glow a dull red, then yellow, then pale blue, and finally becomes incandescent. This is because the amount of light with short wavelengths increases as the temperature rises, and Planck's formula expresses this well for ideal objects called black bodies. In 1901, M. Planck published this formula as a formula that closely reproduced experiments on thermal radiation, and efforts to theorize it led to the energy quanta hypothesis.

Japanese:
一般にはプランクの公式と呼ばれることが多い。絶対温度Tの物体と熱平衡にある放射が種々の波長の光をどんな割合で含むかを示す公式。物体を熱していくと鈍い赤色に光り始め,やがて黄色を経て青白く光り,ついに白熱するが,これは温度の上昇とともに短波長の光が多くなるからで,プランクの公式は黒体と呼ばれる理想物体についてこのことをよく表現する。1901年にM.プランクが熱放射の実験をよく再現する式として発表,理論づけの努力のなかでエネルギー量子の仮説に導かれた。
