Answer

The classical expression agree with the Planck expression in the longer wavelength range.

Work Step by Step

We have already calculated that $\frac{I_c}{I_p}\approx 3.7\times 10^{6}$ (for a wavelength of $400$ $nm$), or, $I_c\gt\gt I_p$ and $\frac{I_c}{I_p}\approx 1.017$ (for a wavelength of $200$ $\mu m$), or, $I_c\approx I_p$ Therefore, we can say that the classical expression agree with the Planck expression in the longer wavelength range.
