Question:

As a mechanism for downward transitions, spontaneous emission competes with thermally stimulated emission (stimulated emission for which blackbody radiation is the source). Show that at room temperature (T = 300 K) thermal stimulation dominates for frequencies well below 5 x1012 Hz, whereas spontaneous emission dominates for frequencies well above 5 x1012 Hz. Which mechanism dominates for visible light?
