Therefore it reflects no Radiation and appears perfectly practice no material has been found to absorb all incoming Radiation , but carbon in itsgraphite form absorbs all but about 3%. It is also a perfect emitter of Radiation . At aparticular temperature the Black body would emit the maximum amount of energy possible forthat temperature. This value is known as the Black body Radiation . It would emit at everywavelength of light as it must be able to absorb every wavelength to be sure of absorbing allincoming Radiation .
