Hello,
I teach mathematics in a lycée, and I would like to use scilab to plot
curves.
I was trying to plot the planck's law function, but I do not have the
expected curve, this might be due to precision problems.
We have f(l)=(2hc^2/l^5)* 1/(exp(hc/(ktl))-1)
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck%27s_law)
l is the wavelength.
T=1000 (temperature).
and c=3e8, k=1.3e-23, h=6.3e-34.
The curve I get is increasing, and looks like a parabola, wich is false,
obviously. I get a better result with maxima, by the way.
Does anybody know how to increase the precision?
best regards
