Expressing Planck's Law as a function of frequency, we have:
[tex] I(\nu)=\frac{2h\nu^3}{c^2}\frac{1}{e^{\frac{h\nu}{kT}}-1}[/tex]
Expressing this in terms of wavelength, one should get
[tex] I(\lambda)=\frac{2hc^2}{\lambda^5}\frac{1}{e^{\frac{hc}{\lambda kT}}-1}[/tex]
but I don't see how this is obvious by subbing in [tex]c=\lambda \nu[/tex]
Any insights?
Thanks
