Question

Why is a flower not a good blackbody radiator?

O A. A flower is exposed only to light from the Sun.
B. A flower emits only visible light.
O C. A flower absorbs most of the light that hits it.
D. A flower reflects much of the light that hits it.

Answer 1

The answer is O C. A flower absorbs most of the light that hits it.

Step-by-step explanation:

• blackbody radiator is defined as an object that absorbs all electromagnetic radiation that falls on it at all frequencies over all angles of incidence.
• No radiation is reflected from such an object. According to thermodynamic arguments embodied in Kirchhoff's law, a good absorber is also a good emitter.
