Planck Intensity Density

In terms of frequency, the energy flux from blackbody radiation is given by

(1)

where is the average energy density, is Planck energy, N is the number density of oscillators, h is Planck's constant, k is Boltzmann's constant, and T is the temperature. Here,
(2)

is the number of cells per unit phase space. The factor of 2 must be added since two electrons with opposite spins may occupy the same element of phase space. The momentum of a photon is given by

(3)

so

(4)

and

(5)

where is an element of solid angle. Plugging in,

(6)
