To Explain: a good absorber is also a good emitter or not.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
When the bodies are in thermal equilibrium, the ratio of emissive power and absorption are same which emit and absorb thermal radiation.
Kirchhoff’s radiation law indicates that a good absorber is also a good emitter. For example, a perfect blackbody radiates as well as absorbs all the radiations that fall on it. So naturally, a good reflector is also a poor absorber.
