Define emissive power and emissivity.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Emissive power : The emissive power of a body is defined as the energy radiated by the body per second per unit area at a given temperature and wavelength.
Emissivelty : Emissivity is defined as the ratio of the emissive power of a body to that of a black body at the same temperature .
