I am puzzled about the formation of blackbody emission (Planck's law). Specifically, we know that such things like incandescent lamps, an electric arc in a gas at high pressure etc. produce a nearly blackbody spectrum of corresponding temperature. Does this mean that in these cases a nearly...

Hi all, we know that the state of material particles (like electron) can be described by a wavefunction and that the wavefunction has a probabilistic interpretation. I have studied at very introductory level the quantum theory of electromagnetic radiation and it seems that it is built up in a...
