Detailed Solution

Perfectly black body means a body that absorbs all of radiation that falls on it.

Black surfaces (coated with lamp black) serve as good absorbers but even they are not 100% absorbers. So first what is done is a small hole is made in a sphere so as to trap all of light incident. Then a conical projection is provided on the inner wall opposite to small hole so that light reflected by it does not return back through the hole.
