Question
A blackbody does not
(a) emit radiation
(b) absorb radiation
(c) reflect radiation
(d) refract radiation
Solution
(c) reflect radiation
(d) refract radiation
A black body is an ideal concept. A black body is the one that absorbs all the radiation incident on it. So, a black body does not reflect and refract radiation.
