radiation - How does quantization solve the ultraviolet catastrophe?


I understand how classical physics leads to the UV catastrophe. But I cannot understand how quantization solves it.



  • How can quantization prevent the body from radiating a lot of energy?


I know this question is similar to many other questions but I need a layman's explanation (without too much mathematical details).



  • Finally why does the peak reach zero intensity after a certain frequency?
