Question
Does a body at 20°C radiate in a room, where the room temperature is 30°C? If yes, why does its temperature not fall further?
Solution
Yes, the body will radiate. However, its temperature will not fall down with time because as the temperature of the surroundings is greater than the temperature of the body so, its rate of absorption will be greater than its rate of emission.
