It attempted to model the density of standing electromagnetic waves in a closed cavity at equilibrium with its environment, as its precision depends on the wavelengths being very long.
It attempted to model the density of standing electromagnetic waves in a closed cavity at equilibrium with its environment, as its precision depends on the wavelengths being very long. It is based on the assumption that each such wave generates KT energy, as suggested by equipartition theory. However, it was inaccurate because Bose-Einstein statistics, and not Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics, govern a certain type of radiation. FTP, identify this inaccurate precursor to Planck's and Wiens' laws for measuring blackbody radiation density.
