Key Equations

$$u(\nu, T) = \frac{8\pi\nu^2}{c^3}k_BT \quad \text{(classical, wrong!)}$$
$$K_{max} = h\nu - W$$
$$L = mvr = n\hbar \quad \Rightarrow \quad v = \frac{n\hbar}{mr}$$
$$[\hat{x}, \hat{p}] = \hat{x}\hat{p} - \hat{p}\hat{x} = i\hbar$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
