Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
Which of the following is a characteristic of a black body?
Step 1: Understand what a black body is. It is a theoretical object that can absorb all types of electromagnetic radiation.
Step 2: Know that a black body does not reflect or transmit any light; it takes in all the energy that hits it.
Step 3: Remember that this property holds true for all frequencies of electromagnetic radiation, meaning it works for all types of light, including visible light, infrared, and ultraviolet.
Step 4: Recognize that the angle at which the radiation hits the black body does not affect its ability to absorb the radiation.
