The 17 pages that link to Ultraviolet catastrophe, each with the reason it gives.

• Planck constantRelated: The failure of classical physics prompted Planck’s quantized energy model.

• Thermal radiationRelated: The failure exposed a central problem in classical accounts of thermal emission.

• Black-body radiationRelated: This contradiction drove Planck to abandon classical energy equipartition.

• Max PlanckCompared with: Planck’s law avoided this failure of classical physics and matched the finite measured spectrum.

• Planck's lawRelated: Planck's law resolved this failure of classical predictions.

• Rayleigh–Jeans lawBroader topic: This divergence is the law’s defining failure at short wavelengths.

• Wien's displacement lawRelated: The failure of classical spectral models motivated the developments that made the displacement law part of a broader theory.

• Classical electron radiusCompared with: Unlike this breakdown, the classical electron radius is a dimensional estimate, not a divergence.

• Wien approximationCompared with: It highlights why a high-frequency spectrum must decline rather than grow without bound.

• Wilhelm WienRelated: The failure of classical radiation theories framed the problem Wien and Planck addressed.

• Black bodyRelated: The failure to describe black-body radiation exposed a limit of classical physics.

• Classical physicsRelated: It exemplifies a specific breakdown that prompted quantum theory.

• Planck relationRelated: The failure of classical theory at high frequencies helped motivate Planck’s treatment.

• Classical statistical mechanicsBroader topic: It exposes a failure of classical statistical mechanics that motivated quantum theory.

• Johann Wilhelm RitterCompared with: The shared word marks a later theoretical problem, not a consequence of Ritter’s discovery.

• John William StruttRelated: It exposed the limit of the Rayleigh–Jeans law and prompted Planck’s quantum hypothesis.

• Planck postulateCompared with: The postulate avoids this failure of classical equipartition.
