One more thing, ## \frac{1}{e^{E_s/kT}-1} ## asymptotes with the x axis, so if this is the average occupancy of a state won't all states be occupied since the function never equals 0

aha okay thanks a bunch, those links were also very helpful :)

My undersanding was that ##\frac{8\pi \nu^2}{c^3}## was the possible number of states of a certain frequency and that ##h\nu## multiplied by the bose-einstien factor was the quantum equivalent to KT the average energy since that is what it approximates too. Is this wrong?

I have been trying to understand the role of a cavity as a black body radiator in the derivation of planks black body radiation law but it has left me with 5 main questions: 1. If an object is a perfect absorber it must also be a perfect emitter, meaning that (allowing for a cavity not being a...
