"The ratio of the total emissive power to the absorptivity for all bodies is same at ther-mal equilibrium". This is ______________ law?

Correct answer: A. Kirchoff's

  • A. Kirchoff's
  • B. Planck's
  • C. Wien's displacement
  • D. Stefan-Boltzmann

Explanation

Kirchhoff's law states that at thermal equilibrium, emissive power divided by absorptivity is the same for bodies at the same temperature. Planck's and Stefan-Boltzmann's laws describe spectral and total blackbody emission, respectively.
