Blackbody-radiation(黑体辐射) Blackbody: an object that absorbs all light falling on it The results of statistical mechanics and the electromagn- etic-wave model are in complete disagreement with the high frequency portion of the experimental curves In 1900. Max plank The atom of the blackbody could emit light only in amounts given by hv h: Plank's constant h=6.6x10
In good agreement with the experimental blackbody curve Planck's work marks the beginning of quantum mechanics Classical Mechanics: energy varies continuously
