Angular-frequency Planck energy density
ID: angular-frequency-planck-energy-density
The bulk photon mode density per volume per angular frequency is , including two transverse polarizations. Multiply it by the thermal oscillator energy to obtain the displayed spectrum. Its integral is . This is volume energy density rather than radiance or surface exitance; isotropic equilibrium radiation has outward black-surface flux . zero-point energy is excluded from this thermal spectrum.
