WHAT DOES BLACKBODY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Black body

A black body is an idealized physical body that absorbs all incident electromagnetic radiation, regardless of frequency or angle of incidence. A white body is one with a "rough surface reflects all incident rays completely and uniformly in all directions." A black body in thermal equilibrium emits electromagnetic radiation called black-body radiation. The radiation is emitted according to Planck's law, meaning that it has a spectrum that is determined by the temperature alone, not by the body's shape or composition. A black body in thermal equilibrium has two notable properties: ▪ It is an ideal emitter: at every frequency, it emits as much energy as or more energy than any other body at the same temperature. ▪ It is a diffuse emitter: the energy is radiated isotropically, independent of direction. An approximate realization of a black surface is a hole in the wall of a large enclosure. Any light entering the hole is reflected indefinitely or absorbed inside and is unlikely to re-emerge, making the hole a nearly perfect absorber.

Definition of blackbody in the English dictionary

The definition of blackbody in the dictionary is a hypothetical body that would be capable of absorbing all the electromagnetic radiation falling on it.
