Noun
(physics)
A
fault
in
classical
physics,
from
the
Rayleigh's
Law/Rayleigh-Jeans
Law
outcomes
at
short
wavelengths/high
frequencies,
that
causes
infinite
amplification
of
shorter
wavelength/higher
frequency
radiation
inside
a
cavity,
due
to
the
application
of
equipartition
theorem
on
black
body
radiation
within
a
cavity.
Japanese Meaning
古典物理学における問題の一つで、キャビティ内部で黒体放射に平分割定理を適用した結果、短波長または高周波数の放射が無限に増幅される現象を指します。これは、レイリーの法則やレイリー‐ジーンズの法則から導かれるものです。

(physics) A fault in classical physics, from the Rayleigh's Law/Rayleigh-Jeans Law outcomes at short wavelengths/high frequencies, that causes infinite amplification of shorter wavelength/higher frequency radiation inside a cavity, due to the application of equipartition theorem on black body radiation within a cavity.
