Debye Function Integral (BlackBody)

1000 Views Asked by At

Show that

$$ \int^{\infty}_{0} \frac{x^{3} \, dx}{e^{x}-1} = \frac{\pi^{4}}{15} $$

by expanding the integrand in powers of $e^{-x} $ and integrating term by term.

Could anyone help with this one?

$$\frac{1}{e^{x}-1}=\frac{e^{-x}}{1-e^{-x}}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} e^{-(n+1)x}$$

Can you finish the rest?
