Do we need to know what the intensity vs frequency graph looks like?

Yes, just know it peaks at UV instead of going exponentially up to infinity as classical physics predicted

The spectral radiance vs. frequency graph was not predicted by Classical Physics (specifically, the Rayleigh-Jeans Law) to be exponential in fact, but rather polynomial (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh–Jeans_law ).

Yes this is the graph I was referring to. Do we need to know it.(Can be sketched but still...)

I think you should know the radiance or intensity vs. wavelength graph (but don't need vs. frequency).
