Let's ask Perplexity.ai the following question:
"In Physics, how is Heat related to Frequency?"
Perplexity.ai: "In physics, heat is related to frequency through the emission of thermal radiation by a body at any temperature, which consists of a wide range of frequencies. According to Planck's law of black-body radiation, the frequency distribution of the emitted radiation shifts to higher frequencies as the temperature of the emitter increases. This means that a hotter object radiates mainly in the long wavelengths of the visible band, and as it is heated further, it begins to emit discernible amounts of higher frequency light, causing it to appear white to the human eye. Additionally, the relationship between temperature and frequency is described by
Wien's displacement law of black-body radiation
which states that the
wavelength is inversely proportional to the temperature.
Therefore, as the temperature increases, the frequency also increases..."
I'm not sure what your point was, but just to be clear the discussion of black body radiation has nothing to do with the switching frequency discussed in the article.
And if so, how exactly (show exact steps of reasoning process) please?
In Physics, if something in the Universe (let's call it thing or phenomenon "A") -- is related to something else in the universe (let's call it thing or phenomenon "B") then if B is also related to thing or phenomenon C, then it's very likely that
A is related to C
as well...
Sort of like in logic, if A implies B, and B implies C... then A implies C.
Well, same thing, but with relations/connections in Physics -- if A is related/connected to B and B is related/connected to C -- then A is related/connected to C and conversely, C is related/connected to A...
So it follows (logically) that if Heat is connected with Frequency (and it is, see my original comment) and Radiation connected with Heat (and it is), and Black Body Radiation is connected to Heat (and it is), then Switching Frequency (as mentioned in the article) must be connected to all of those other things via Frequency...
I feel that people might learn a lot about Physics -- by simply studying the known connections/relations -- between various phenomena in Physics...
Maybe you are right and maybe there is no connection/relation between the two -- but I'll let future scientists make that determination by experimentally completely proving that -- or experimentally completely disproving it...
Until that point in time, I know that I for one keep a completely open mind about it, one way or the other...
