Assertion : A body that is a good radiator is also a good absorber of radiation at a given wavelength.
Reason : According to Kirchhoff's law the absorptivity of a body is equal to its emissivity at a given wavelength

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If the assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
According to Kirchhoff's law at a given wavelength the absorptivity of a body is equal to its emissivity. Also a body, which is a good radiator, is also a good absorber of radiation or a poor reflector.
