This equation has a simple structure for the dependence of the entropy [radiance] of an irradiated monochromatic vibrating resonator on its vibrational energy.

Entropy [radiance] means disorder.

From the theory of permutations we get for the number of all possible complexions:

N(N+l).(N+2) … (N+P-)_(N + P-1)
1 . 2 . 3 …P (/V-1)LP!

or to a sufficient approximation,34

The chosen energy element c for a given group of resonators must be proportional to the frequency v follows immediately from

The original states “degrees centigrade” which is clearly a slip [D. t. H.].

t F. Kurlbaum {Ann. Phys. 65 [ = 301], 759 (1898)) gives SlQo~S0 = 0-0731 Watt cm- 2 , while O. Lummer and E. Pringsheim (Verh. Deutsch. Physik Ges. 2, 176 (1900)) give A,„r> = 2940 /* degree.
