Question:

Use dimensional analysis to show that the wavelength scale of blackbody radiation is given by λth = hc/kBT . The average radiation energy in a cavity depends only on its volume and not on its shape when λth ≪ L, , where L is a typical length scale characterizing the cavity. How low must the temperature be for the shape to matter if L ≈ 1 cm?
