What are good absorbers of heat?

Good absorbers of heat radiation are like basically materials which are dark in colour. Because for some reason they tend to absorb more radiation than light coloured materials.


In general good absorbers of electromagnetic radiation are also good?

Yes, Good absorber of heat are good emitters of heat. And in both the way rate is same. This is Kirchoff's Law.


Who emits more radiation a white body or a black body?

Good absorbers of radiation are also effective emitters. Thus, a black body, which more readily absorbs infrared radiation also emits it more readily.


Are silvered surfaces good or poor absorbers of infrared radiation?

Very very poor, they have a tendency of blowing you IP.


What are water vapor and carbon dioxide in earth's atmosphere good absorbers of?

infrared radiation


Which materials are good absorbers?

the nano structur material are good absorber as compared to bulk and microsized material


What do you call gases that are good absorbers of outgoing radiation?

Greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, water vapour, methane, etc.


What type of surfaces are good radiators of heat?

Dull black surfaces they are also best at absorbing it as well. [Shiny and silvery or white surfaces are poor radiators and absorbers of heat. However they are very good in reflecting heat radiation.]


Why are carbon dioxide and water vapor called selective absorbers?

Any object that can specifically absorb and emit radiation (in the form of, say, infrared radiation), is called a selective absorbers. An example is: Snow. It is a good absorber of infrared radiation but poor absorber of sunligh. Object that selectively absorb radiation at some wavelength tend to radiate radiation at that same wavelength. CO2 and water vapors are both very good absorber of infrared radiation but at the same time poor absorber of different forms of solar radiation that are visible to us.


Is a good absorber of radiation a good emitter or a poor emitter?

It is a good emitter, as you can not have a good absorber, which isn't a good emitter. Dark, Matt surfaces are good emitters and absorbers e.g. a saucepan.


What are the good effects of radiation?

Radiation is an excellent anti-microbial agent. Radiation is important to the decomposition of many materials. Radiation is essential for x-ray technology.


Is a good reflector of radiation a good emitter of radiation?

A good absorber of radiation is a good emitter. Radiation is the energy that that comes from a source and travels through space or through something. Some examples of radiation include light, heat and sound.
