A new approach to the generalization of Planck's law of black-body radiation

In this study, Planck's law of black-body radiation has been modified within the framework of nonextensive statistical mechanics. The average energy of radiation has been derived by introducing the nonextensive partition function in the statistical relation of internal energy. The spectral energy density and spectral radiance have also been computed. The derived expression has been compared with the earlier developed approximate schemes (i.e. asymptotic approach and factorization approach) and with the recently obtained exact result. We utilize the exact and approximate Stefan-Boltzmann laws in order to compare with the new approach introduced here.
