Now two engineers at Cambridge University claim to have solved the puzzle—and proved Rayleigh wrong.

而现在，剑桥大学的两名工程师宣布他们已经解决了这个难题—而且还证明瑞利勋爵的猜测是错的。

Once the frequency of light got into the ultraviolet range or higher, the Rayleigh-Jeans law didn’t fit the results of experiments at all.

一旦光的频率进入紫外线范围或更高，Rayleigh-Jeans 定律就完全不符合实验结果了。

Once the frequency of light got into the ultraviolet range or higher, the Rayleigh-Jeans law didn't fit the results of experiments at all.

一旦光的频率达到一定程度的紫外线辐射或更高，瑞利-吉斯定律永远不会对应于实际结果。

Even worse, if you summed up the contributions of higher and higher frequencies to calculate the total power emitted by a blackbody, the Rayleigh-Jeans law predicted that you’d find infinite power.

更糟糕的是，如果你将越来越高的频率的贡献相加来计算黑体发出的总功率，瑞利-金斯定律预测你会发现无穷大的功率。

The equation they came up with, known as the Rayleigh-Jeans law, predicted that the higher the frequency of the radiation – and therefore, the shorter the wavelength – the higher the intensity.

他们提出的方程式被称为瑞利-金斯定律，预测辐射频率越高——因此波长越短——强度就越高。
