To solve the ultraviolet catastrophe, Planck applied quantization to: Select the correct answer below: A. vibrational energies of atoms
B. orbital energies of electrons
C. kinetic energies of photons
D. temperature of the system

Vibrational energies of atoms

Explanation:

Planck applied quantization to Vibrational energies of atoms because in Black body spectrum prediction a blackbody at equilibrium is expected to radiate energies at various Frequencies ( i.e. increase in radiated energy ∝ increase in frequency ) but towards the ultraviolet region of the spectrum the energy radiated begins to drop as frequency increases. The phenomenon of drop in energy with increase in frequency is termed Ultraviolet catastrophe. hence to solve this phenomenon Planck applied quantization to Vibrational energies of atoms

what are the two models

explanation:

atomic number of carbon is 6

electronic configuration of carbon is 1s²2s²2p²

orbital diagram of c is as shown here in the image.
