While the total emissivity of a perfect black body is unity, the same for a real body is__________________?

Correct answer: D. Between 0 and 1

  • A. 0
  • B. 1
  • C. > 1
  • D. Between 0 and 1

Explanation

A black body absorbs and emits perfectly, so its emissivity is 1. A real surface emits less than a black body under the same conditions, giving emissivity between 0 and 1.
