MCQ
Three objects colored black, gray and white can withstand hostile conditions upto $2800\,^oC$. These objects are thrown into a furnace where each of them attains a temperature of $2000\,^oC$. Which object will glow brightest?
  • A
    the white object
  • the black object
  • C
    all glow with equal brightness
  • D
    gray object

Answer

Correct option: B.
the black object
b
Black has greatest emissivity and greatest absorbtivity as compared with other colours. At $2000\,^oC$ it will have greatest emissivity so it will glow brightest.
