SUMMARY
The discussion clarifies that the emission probability denoted as p in the context of blackbody spectrum derivation is not a probability density function. Instead, it represents the probability of emission occurring, without any reference to time or density. This distinction is crucial for understanding the underlying physics of blackbody radiation and its implications in thermal emission processes.
