For small z, ez is approximately 1+z. (a) Use this to show that Planck’s spectral energy density (3-1) agrees with the result of classical wave theory in the limit of small frequencies, (b) Show that, whereas the classical formula diverges at high frequencies—the so-called-ultraviolet catastrophe of this theory—Planck’s formula approaches 0.
