Two wide perfect-conductor plates separated by d support a gapless transverse electromagnetic mode whose electric field is normal to the plates. At ω≪c/d, multiply the single-polarization two-dimensional photon density of states by ℏω and the Bose-Einstein distribution to get the title's spectrum. This is a low-frequency statement; it need not describe the full thermal spectrum if thermally populated higher branches cross their cutoffs.
