The connection is Planck's law.
In attempting to derive a formula that fit the experimental data for black body radiation he assumed that the radiation was due to oscillators in the wall and the energy of oscillators was limited to a set of discrete, integer multiples of a fundamental unit of energy, proportional to the oscillation frequency. Planck's assumption of energy quantization and Einstein's photon hypothesis became the fundamental basis for the later development of Quantum Mechanics.

Did you ever notice that if you get something hot enough it will eventually start to glow? Back in the early 1900's, scientists were trying to predict what color something would glow when it was heated to a given temperature. It was discovered that all objects that have temperature emit some kind of electromagnetic radiation. All objects also reflect electromagnetic radiation. A black body is just an object that doesn't reflect any radiation. All the radiation coming off of the object is due to its temperature. So a black body is just one of those physics idealizations that help us understand nature better...like a frictionless surface, or massless string. Interestingly enough, black bodies aren't really black, they just don't reflect light...if I remember correctly the sun behaves like a black body.

hi Nuff; i individually sense, with easily no scientific information, that each and every selection we make on a daily basis supplies an probability for yet another ( or parallel universe). I join the Robert A. Heinlein concept, in all probability previously it slow yet, a large fiction author. attempt "The form of The Beast" or "Stranger In an unusual Land"good easy relaxing reads. yet time is a severe concern, and one i'm afraid I even have very fixed notions upon. As i think God created it,and holds it till, as you would be able to assert the time is sweet, and guy ought to circulate forward in simple terms, living each and each 2d to the fullest, as there is not any going back. "The previous is history, the destiny a secret, we are in a position to easily stay in the now." yet to punch a hollow into yet another universe, will in all probability take place sometime, what occurs next? nicely which would be an entire diverse universe back. LOL have relaxing with this one! Bob

"Blackbody radiation" or "cavity radiation" refers to an object or system which absorbs all radiation incident upon it and re-radiates energy which is characteristic of this radiating system only, not dependent upon the type of radiation which is incident upon it. The radiated energy can be considered to be produced by standing wave or resonant modes of the cavity which is radiating.
