The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the ratio of the emissive power to the absorption power of all substances for a particular wavelength at a given temperature, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Terms - **Emissive Power (E)**: This is the ability of a substance to emit thermal radiation. - **Absorptive Power (A)**: This is the ability of a substance to absorb thermal radiation. - The ratio of emissive power to absorptive power is given by \( \frac{E}{A} \). ### Step 2: Recall Kirchhoff's Law of Heat Radiation According to Kirchhoff's law, at thermal equilibrium, the ratio of emissive power to absorptive power for any substance at a given temperature is constant and is equal to the emissive power of a black body at that temperature. ### Step 3: Define the Black Body A black body is an idealized physical object that absorbs all incident electromagnetic radiation, regardless of frequency or angle of incidence. Its absorptive power is 1, meaning it absorbs all radiation. ### Step 4: State the Ratio From Kirchhoff's law, we can express the relationship as: \[ \frac{E}{A} = \text{Emissive Power of Black Body} \] Since the absorptive power of a black body is 1, the emissive power of a black body is equal to its absorptive power. ### Step 5: Conclude the Answer Thus, the ratio of the emissive power to the absorption power of all substances for a particular wavelength at a given temperature is known as the **Emissive Power of a Black Body**. ### Final Answer The correct answer is **Emissive Power of Black Body**. ---
