If all bodies emit radiation continuously. Why doesn't the temperature of the body drop?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why the temperature of a body does not drop despite continuously emitting radiation, we can break down the explanation into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Radiation Emission**: - All bodies emit radiation continuously. This is a fundamental property of matter, where energy is radiated in the form of electromagnetic waves. 2. **Environment Interaction**: ...
