Rayleigh-Jeans spectrum of a finite blackbody disk

ID: rayleigh-jeans-spectrum-of-a-finite-blackbody-disk

For a finite multitemperature blackbody disk, the low-frequency Rayleigh-Jeans law gives . If away from the inner edge, outer annuli dominate because the weight per logarithmic radial interval grows as . A measure-zero zero-temperature inner edge does not invalidate the leading law when is integrable.
