Emission and Absorption: Kirchholf Law
‘The ability of 2 surface to emit radiation is proportional to the ability of the
surface to absorb radiation. We demonstrate this relation, frst ora black body
or black surface and, second, for a surlace with arbitrary properties. An object
is dfined to be black ina given frequency range ifall electromagnetic radiation
{incident upon itn that range is absorbed. By this definition a hoe in a cavity is,
black ifthe hole is small enough that radiation incident through the hole will

reflect enough times from the cavity walls to be absorbed in the cavity with
negligible loss back through the hol.
“The vadiant ensrgy flux density Jy from a black surface at temperature is
‘equal to the radiant energy Nux density Jy emitted from a small hole in a cavity
‘al the same temperature, To prove this, let us close the fle with the black
surface, hereafier called the objet. In theca equiibvium the thermal average
‘energy flux from the Black object to the interior of the cavity must be equel,
boat opposite, to the thermal average energy fut from the cavity to the black
object.
‘We prove the following: If x non-black object at temperature + absorbs a

‘object wil be o times the radiation flux emitted by a black body at the same
