Blackbody radiation

What is Blackbody radiation - The radiation - that is the radiance at specific frequencies all across the spectrum -- generated by a blackbody -- which is, a perfect radiator and absorber of the heat. Physicists had complexity explaining it awaiting Planck mentioned his quantum of action.
