What is a black body
Jerelyn N.
A blackbody is an ideal system that a) absorbs $100 \%$ of the light incident upon it, but cannot emit light of its own. b) emits $100 \%$ of the light it generates, but cannot absorb radiation of its own. c) either absorbs $100 \%$ of the light incident upon it, or emits $100 \%$ of the radiation it generates. d) absorbs $50 \%$ of the light incident upon it, and emits $50 \%$ of the radiation it generates. e) blackens completely any body that comes in contact with it
