In physics, the ultraviolet catastrophe , also called the Rayleigh-Jeans catastrophe, is the classical prediction, first made in the late 19th century, that an ideal black body ; The branch of quantum physics that accounts for matter at the atomic level; an extension of statistical mechanics based on quantum...

Although the Rayleigh-Jeans law works for low frequencies, it diverges as ; this divergence for high frequencies is called the ultraviolet catastrophe.

In reality, when the actual radiation emitted from a black-body was measured, it was seen not to shoot toward in infinite at the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic scale (as the theories suggested), but rather to be highest ... It is for this reason that the discrepancy became known as The Ultraviolet Catastrophe.

The Ultraviolet Catastrophe ... This failure is called the ultraviolet catastrophe, and by 1900 it had created serious problems for classical physics because it called into question the basic concepts of thermodynamics and electromagnetics that were involved in reaching that equation.

The failure of these formulae to account for the decrease in energy emitted at short wavelengths (the ultraviolet wavelengths) became known as the ultraviolet catastrophe. A major breakthrough was made by Max Planck who made a formula that agreed with experimental data, which is showed above.

God, Humanity and the Cosmos Topic: The Ultraviolet Catastrophe ... The Ultraviolet Catastrophe ... However attempts to explain this in classical terms failed abjectly - they predicted instead that the amount of energy would tend towards infinity at the high-energy (violet) end of the spectrum - an ultraviolet catastrophe.
