thermodynamics - What does 'per unit frequency' refer to?


We were discussing Kirchoff's theorem on blackbody radiation in class today and the equation was: $$e_{f}= J(f,T)$$


$e_f$ was defined as power per unit area per unit frequency. What does per unit frequency refer to here? I know what per unit time means but don't understand 'per unit frequency'.

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
