J-Space Calcs - Learn Quantum Mechanics

In summary, the speaker is studying Quantum Mechanics notes and is struggling with understanding j-space calculations. They mention that these calculations are important for deriving certain expressions related to energy and energy density. The speaker asks if anyone has any good sources for learning more about j-space and suggests searching for black body radiation for the second equation.

Hi,

I'm currently studying my Quantum Mechanics notes from college last year and I've got to the bit about j-space calculations. The slide is very scant on details and google isn't yielding anything on this either.
I would skip it but it seems important for deriving expressions such as Energy [tex]E(\lambda)d\lambda =k_b T\left[\frac{8\pi L^3}{\lambda ^4}\right]d\lambda[/tex] and the energy density in a cavity [tex]u(\omega)d\omega = \frac{\hbar\omega^3}{\pi^2c^3}\frac{1}{e^{\hbar\omega/k_bT}-1}d\omega[/tex]

Does anyone have any good sources for learning more about j-space?

Thanks
