The oscillators of a perfect blackbody are considered as non-interacting entities. Thus, Bose-Einstein Condensation is possible for these entities. The Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) temperature of a perfect blackbody is calculated from the Planck’s theory of blackbody radiation and de Broggle’s wave-particle duality relation. It is observed that the BEC temperature of an ideal blackbody is 4.0K. Thus, bellow 4.0K temperature the energy density vs wavelength plot of a blackbody would look like a delta function. In this region, a blackbody would absorb or emit radiation of unique frequency depending upon its temperature. It is also possible to calculate the rest mass and the ground state vibrational energy of the oscillators of a blackbody using present formalism.
