Explain why,
a body with large reflectivity is a poor emitter.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

According to Kirchhoff.s law, good absorber is good emitter and its reverse is, weak absorber is weak emitter.
It is clear that if absorptivity is high, then reflectivity is low and if absorptivity is low, then reflectivity is high.
