A black body absorbs maximum heat and hence radiates maximum heat.

If the surface is polished, then the heat gets reflected back and the absorption of heat is very less. Hence a black, non-shiny or rough body would radiate maximum heat.

The Correct option is C.

Radiation heat transfer increases with an increase in surface area and emissivity.

Black bodies have the highest emissivity (equal to 1) and rough surfaces have higher surface area than polished surfaces. So, black and rough surfaces emit radiations more rapidly.

Question is that radiate heat not reflect the heat.

So the answer is correct black & the rough body has high absorbed heat then polished one or white.

@Uday.

How? Please explain.

Uday kanisetti said:   5 years ago
I think A is correct answer.

Ashim said:   7 years ago
I also agree with option C.

Tanmay Shah said:   7 years ago
Yes, I also agree with Option C.

How?

As we know the reflectivity doesn't like emissivity. So, in white & polished body it should be highest. And therefore answer must be C.
