Question

Define Emissivity of some materials at 300 K.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Thermal emissivity(ɛ) coefficient gives the heat or radiation absorbing and emission  capacity of a material. For a black body the value of thermal emissivity is 1,hence it mean it absorbs all the incident radiation on it and emits them.

 

ε=Radiant energy of an object at a given temperatureRadiant energy of a blackbody at the same  temperature

 

Thermal emissivity coefficient of a body depends on its temperature, material, nature of  surface.(0<ε1)
