Formulation of a more realistic quantum equation for rectifying the hidden flaws in Planck's black body equation
A thorough investigation of the Planck's black-body radiation reveals several potential flaws. It is found that Planck's final formula suffers from a serious dimensional discrepancy. While it relates to the spectral energy density of the black body radiation, the measured experimental data correspond to the spectral power density. It is shown that Planck's final formula is better written, <mml:math display="inline"> <mml:mi>P</mml:mi> <mml:mo>=</mml:mo> <mml:mi>b</mml:mi> <mml:mi>ν</mml:mi> </mml:math> where <mml:math display="inline"> <mml:mi>P</mml:mi> </mml:math> is power with units <mml:math display="inline"> <mml:mfenced open="[" close="]" separators="|"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>J</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mo>/</mml:mo> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>s</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:mrow> </mml:mrow> </mml:mfenced> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mo> </mml:mo> <mml:mi>b</mml:mi> </mml:math> is the quantum of energy with units <mml:math display="inline"> <mml:mfenced open="[" close="]" separators="|"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>J</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:mfenced> </mml:math> (numerically equals to Planck's constant, <mml:math display="inline"> <mml:mi>h</mml:mi> </mml:math> ), and <mml:math display="inline"> <mml:mi>ν</mml:mi> </mml:math> is the frequency of the quantum oscillator with units <mml:math display="inline"> <mml:mfenced open="[" close="]" separators="|"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> <mml:mo>/</mml:mo> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>s</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:mrow> </mml:mrow> </mml:mfenced> </mml:math> . It is shown that a simple modification in the Planck's black-body radiation formula brought about by replacing “ <mml:math display="inline"> <mml:mi>h</mml:mi> </mml:math> ” by “ <mml:math display="inline"> <mml:mi>b</mml:mi> </mml:math> ” in it could make it absolutely free from any flaws and discrepancies.
