Blackbody Radiation Explained
The blackbody radiation paradox presented a significant challenge in physics, as existing theories predicted infinite high-frequency emissions, which experimental data contradicted. Planck resolved this issue by introducing the concept of quantized energy, suggesting that energy is emitted in discrete units, or quanta, rather than continuously. This groundbreaking idea shifted the understanding of light and energy, laying the foundation for modern quantum theory.In this clip
