Step 1
1 of 2Correct answer: (c) A model of an object that emits electromagnetic waves with a characteristic frequency distribution
Black body radiation is the radiation produced from a black body. A black body is an object that absorbs all radiation that falls on it including the visible light, infrared light, ultraviolet light, etc. This also implies that it also radiates at all frequencies that heat energy produces in it. Black body radiator is any object which is a perfect emitter and a perfect absorber of radiation. A black body is a theoretical ideal but many astronomical objects nearly behave like a black body.
