Light in a cavity and sound in a solid may be considered as gases of quasi-particles, the photons, and phonons respectively. It is then possible to treat them thermodynamically. The first successful attempt in that direction was Boltzmann’s derivation of what we now call the Stefan-Boltzmann law. That law relates the energy density of cavity radiation in equilibrium with the wall to the temperature of the wall.
