Black-body laws derived from a minimum knowledge of Physics

Abstract

Starting from the knowledge of the four fundamental quantities length L, mass M, time T, absolute temperature $\theta$ and accepting the validity of Gauss's law in all dimensions, we generalize, by the theory of physical dimensions, the expression of the Stephan-Boltzmann law and of the Planck's formula for the black-body radiation to a spacetime with one time and n spatial coordinates. In the particular case n=3 we shall recover the known results.
