Abstract
The thermodynamic properties of the blackbody radiation are revisited, for the first time, within the theoretical framework of the κ-statistics introduced by Kaniadakis. Using the κ-counterpart of the Bose-Einstein distribution, generalized expressions for the free energy, the entropy, the specific heat, and the pressure are obtained. All quantities are shown to recover their standard expressions in the limit κ→0. The reexamination of the thermodynamic properties of the blackbody radiation shows that it emits more energy with an increase of the value of |κ| in comparison with the standard Planck radiation law. Moreover, the effects of the deformed Kaniadakis statistics are shown to be more appreciable for high temperatures. Our results could be used as a theoretical support for experimental studies implying blackbody radiation such as the study of microwave background radiation.
