The black body always _ radiation.
Correct answer: C. Both Option A and B are correct
- A. Emits
- B. Absorbs
- C. Both Option A and B are correct
- D. Reflects
Explanation
A black body is an idealized object that absorbs all electromagnetic radiation it comes into contact with. It then emits thermal radiation in a continuous spectrum according to its temperature. Black bodies do not reflect light; reflection and emission are two different concepts. Emission refers to the generation of photons from the same source that absorbs them, while Reflection refers to the scattering of photons that come from some other source.
