The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that "A normal body can radiate energy more than a perfectly black body." - A perfectly black body is defined as an idealized physical body that absorbs all incident electromagnetic radiation, regardless of frequency or angle of incidence. It is also a perfect emitter of radiation, meaning it radiates energy at the maximum possible rate for a given temperature. - A normal body, on the other hand, does not absorb or emit radiation perfectly. **Conclusion for Step 1**: The assertion can be true under certain conditions, particularly when comparing bodies at different temperatures. For example, a normal body at a higher temperature can radiate more energy than a black body at a lower temperature. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason states that "A perfectly black body is always black in color." - The term "black body" refers to its ability to absorb all wavelengths of radiation, not necessarily its color. In reality, a black body can emit radiation in various wavelengths and can appear to be of different colors depending on its temperature. - For instance, the sun, which is a near-perfect black body, emits a wide spectrum of light and appears yellowish-white, not black. **Conclusion for Step 2**: The reason is false because a perfectly black body does not have to be black in color; it can emit radiation across the spectrum and appear in various colors. ### Final Conclusion - The assertion is true because a normal body can radiate more energy than a perfectly black body under certain conditions (different temperatures). - The reason is false because a perfectly black body does not have to be black in color. ### Answer The correct answer is: Assertion is true, but the reason is false.
