ultraviolet catastrophe

英語（米国） (en-US) 英語（イギリス） (en-GB)

名詞

(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.

日本語の意味

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。
