As per Kirchoff‟s law, the ratio of the total radiating power to the absorptivity of a body depends on the_______________?

Correct answer: A. Temperature of the body only

  • A. Temperature of the body only
  • B. Wavelength of monochromatic radiation
  • C. Both A. and B.
  • D. Nature of material of body

Explanation

Kirchhoff’s law for total radiation gives E/α = Eᵦ, the emissive power of a blackbody at the same temperature. Therefore, the ratio depends on temperature, while wavelength applies when considering monochromatic radiation.
