Both gas and radiation pressures are nonnegative, so . Rearranging the constant-fraction result gives
(1)
This is the Eddington luminosity for the effective opacity constant of this model. Positive gas support gives a strict inequality, with equality only in the radiation-only limiting case. Exceeding the limit would require a negative gas-pressure fraction, which is incompatible with the assumed equation of state.
