Radiation

Question

Statement I : Coefficient of absorption of radiation of an ideal black body is 1.

Statement II : An ideal black body emits radiation of all wavelength

Moderate
Solution

We know that for ideal black body reflectance (r) = 0, transmittance (t) = 0, absorptance (a) = 1. It is clear that, when heated, the black body will radiate all the energy which is absorbed by it.
