quantum mechanics - How does quantization solve UV catastrophe in black body radiation? What would happen if there was no Planck constant h?


Planck's Law is I(ν,T)=8πν3c21ehν/kT1



This solves the UV catastrophe. For higher frequencies, intensity goes to zero.


It does so because of eν not because there is a h constant. If we remove h parameter from the equation, it still goes to zero for higher frequencies. Right?


So why is "UV catastrophe is solved by quantization" said?


Note: I'm not saying if h = 0. I'm saying if there was no h constant. Like this:


I(ν,T)=8πν3c21eν/kT1

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

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 \...
