Abstract
The interaction of radiation and matter is discussed on the basis of Einstein's theory. The distribution of energy in an enclosure containing quantized particles is indeterminate unless there is thermal or other non-radiative interaction between the particles; the latter process is therefore essential to the production of the black-body distribution. Fluorescence cannot lower the entropy of the system.Keywords
