Abstract
In 1900, Rayleigh put forward a complete expression of blackbody radiation distribution function, but the specific coefficient value was not given. It was not until 1905 that Rayleigh reconsidered the problem of blackbody radiation in the long wave region that he calculated the specific coefficient value, but the coefficient value he gave was 8 times larger than that in the formula we are familiar with today. In the same year, this coefficient was revised by Jeans, so it was called Rayleigh-Jenkins formula.

Keywords
