Summary
Analysis of the spectral behavior of the radiation emitted by a body at different temperatures, thus
verifying the Wien and Stefan-Boltzmann laws and the solution to the ultraviolet catastrophe due to
these laws and how Planck proposed the solution to this problem.

INTRODUCTION
The radiation emitted by hot bodies is a subject at the level of modern physics, since this is how the
different radiation spectra are understood as a function of the wavelength that is based on the change of
the variable in these bodies. Laws such as Wien, which is responsible for deducing the lengths at which
occurs the maximum radiation and Stefan-Boltzmann which covers a study of the area under the curve
that is formed by the radiation spectrum. It is also important to know cases such as the ultraviolet
catastrophe that arose in the case of the aforementioned laws, which in the course of time were solved
thanks to Max Planck.

In the Phet platform you can perform simulations concerning the case of radiation in black bodies
with analysis focused on the radiation spectrum, but with dependence on the energy of an
electromagnetic wave is described through the Poynting project, and in turn the intensity of the
electromagnetic wave these generated three approaches, as it is understood that a black body and
radiation must be in thermodynamic equilibrium this is because the temperature increase in the body
makes the electrons oscillate around that balance and causes a wave emission.

For this report the structure is classified in the theoretical part that consists of a small summary and
the introduction, the methodology and the data treatment where the reason for the investigation is
structured, then there is the data analysis and the conclusions where the experience and the obtained
results are described, the bibliographical references of which we base ourselves for the solution of the
report and finally the annexes.
