Topic: Heat Transfer

A grey body is defined such that

  • A. Monochromatic emissivity of the body is independent of temperature
  • B. Monochromatic emissivity of the body is dependent of temperature
  • C. Monochromatic emissivity of the body is independent of wave length
  • D. Monochromatic emissivity of the body is dependent of wave length

Answer: C. Monochromatic emissivity of the body is independent of wave length

Explanation: A grey body is defined as a non-ideal radiator whose monochromatic emissivity is constant and independent of the wavelength ($\lambda$). This means it emits a constant fraction of the black body emission at all wavelengths.
