Abstract

The stationary probability distribution of the one-step process corresponding to Einstein's theory of absorption and emission of radiation is derived. Gauss' principle is used to identify the entropy, and the second law gives the dynamical equilibrium condition or Planck's radiation law. This condition is in disagreement with Einstein's criterion of dynamical equilibrium. The physical consequences of the new condition are investigated.
