Classical physics and blackbody radiation
arXiv:2112.02410 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.128.134101
Abstract
We investigate the properties of the blackbody spectrum by direct numerical solution of the classical equations of motion of a one-dimensional model that contains the essential general features of the field-matter interaction. Our results, which do not rely on any statistical assumption, show that the classical blackbody spectrum exhibits remarkable properties: (i) a quasistationary state characterized by scaling properties, (ii) consistency with the Stefan-Boltzmann law, and (iii) a high-frequency cutoff. Our work is a preliminary step in the understanding of statistical properties of infinite dimensional systems.
