The ratio of total radiating power to the absorptivity of the body depends upon the _____________ as per Kirchoff‟s law?

Correct answer: C. Temperature of the body

  • A. Wavelength of radiation
  • B. Nature of the body
  • C. Temperature of the body
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Kirchhoff’s law gives E/α = Eb, where Eb is the blackbody emissive power at the body’s temperature. Therefore, for total radiation, the ratio depends on temperature, not on the nature of the body.
