Answer»

Explain
why:


(a) a
body with large reflectivity is a poor emitter


(b) a
brass tumbler feels much colder than a wooden tray on a chilly day



(c) an optical pyrometer (for measuring high
temperatures) calibrated for an ideal black body radiation gives too
low a value for the temperature of a red hot iron piece in the open,
but gives a correct value for the temperature when the same piece is
in the furnace


(d) the
earth without its atmosphere would be inhospitably cold



(e) heating systems based on circulation of steam
are more efficient in warming a building than those based on
circulation of hot water
