COMMENTS
Under proper scaling, the radiation distribution density function in terms of frequency is given by prl(x) = x^3/(exp(x)-1), the Planck's radiation law. This constant is the integral of prl(x) from 0 to infinity and leads to the total amount of electromagnetic radiation emitted by a body.
Also, in an 8-dimensional unit-radius hypersphere, equals one-fifth of its surface (A164109), and twice the integral of r^2 over its volume.
