What is Ultraviolet catastrophe

Ultraviolet catastrophe: It is the shortcoming of Rayleigh-Jeans formula that attempted to explain the radiance of a blackbody at different frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum. This was clearly wrong since as the frequency rose, the radiance raised without bound; something quite not observes; it was dubbed the "ultraviolet catastrophe." This was later reconciled and described by the discovery of the Planck radiation law.
