How come a grey body is emitting more radiation than a black body at any specified temperature?

Champii said:   1 decade ago
A black body is a perfect emitter.

Mathi said:   1 decade ago
If it is so is the answer black body?

Muneeb said:   1 decade ago
No black body is a perfect absorber black body just absorb radiation.

Dipu said:   1 decade ago
Answer will be black body. For black body emissivity = 1 & absorptivity = 1.

Dinesh said:   10 years ago
Black body absorptivity is 1 but emissivity 0.

Black body is the right answer.

Because it has absorptivity 1 and emissivity 1 for all wavelength.

While the grey body has max emissivity of monochromatic wavelength.

Black boby absorptivity 1 and emissivity 0.

Gray body emissivity 1.

White body transitivity 1.

Real materials emit energy at a fraction "called the emissivity" of black-body energy levels. By definition, a black body in thermal equilibrium has an emissivity of ε = 1.0.

A source with lower emissivity independent of frequency often is referred to as a grey body. Construction of black bodies with emissivity as close to one.

Answer is black body.
