Classical Planck Spectrum for Relative Thermal Radiation, Classical Zero-Point Radiation, and Scale Parameter

In this work we obtain Planck's blackbody spectrum from the thermal scalar radiation contained in a resonant cavity of volume V in the context of classical mechanics, which provides the classical zero-point electromagnetic radiation in terms of a scale parameter that depends on geometric properties of the enclosure and electrical magnitudes. The scale parameter of the classical zero-point electromagnetic radiation is associated to experimental measurements of Casimir forces, but we show that theoretically its value for known radiant cavities that approach a blackbody has a numerical value of the order of Planck's constant.
