Q89

Depending on the radiating properties, a body will be opaque when

A.
p = 0, x = 0 and a = 1
B.
p = 1, x = 0 and a = 0
C.
p = 0, x = 1 and a = 0
D.
x = 0, a + p = 1
Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
Opaque body are those body where the atoms are closely packed and the light cannot pass through. Whereas a light may or may not pass through a black body depending whether it is opaque or transparent.
Depending on the radiating properties, a body will be opaque when x = 0, a + p = 1.
