The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will apply Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation, which relates the emission and absorption of radiation by a substance. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: The question states that a certain substance emits specific wavelengths (λ1, λ2, λ3, and λ4) when at a high temperature. We need to determine which wavelengths this substance will absorb. 2. **Applying Kirchhoff's Law**: Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation states that at thermal equilibrium, the emissivity (the ability to emit radiation) of a body is equal to its absorptivity (the ability to absorb radiation) at a given temperature and wavelength. This means that if a substance emits certain wavelengths, it must also absorb those same wavelengths. 3. **Identifying the Emitted Wavelengths**: The emitted wavelengths are λ1, λ2, λ3, and λ4. According to Kirchhoff's law, since the substance emits these wavelengths, it will also absorb them. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the substance will absorb all the wavelengths it emits. The correct answer is that it will absorb all four wavelengths: λ1, λ2, λ3, and λ4. ### Final Answer: The substance will absorb all the wavelengths: **Option D (λ1, λ2, λ3, λ4)**. ---
