Reducing the emissivity will increase thermal resistance.

BECAUSE r(radiation) = 1-e/eA, So if e increases are decreases.

Reducing the emmisivity will increase the thermal resistance. For example, black body has least thermal resistance because its emmisivity is unity. As we reduce the emmisivity the heat transfer will reduce due to radiation hence increasing thermal resistance. So, the answer should be A and B only.

Can you explain how option C statement also correct?
Angesh said:   7 years ago
Resistance to radiation Inversely proportional to emissivity according to Wein's law.

How emissivity decreses resistance?
Lekha said:   8 years ago
How is it? Please explain.
