2. Kirchhoff's law states that ?

the total radiation from a black body per second per unit area is directly proportional to the fourth power of the absolute temperature

the wave length corresponding to the maximum energy is proportional to the absolute temperature

the ratio of the emissive power and absorptive power of all bodies is the same and is equal to the emissive power of a perfectly black body

none of the above

Answer: the ratio of the emissive power and absorptive power of all bodies is the same and is equal to the emissive power of a perfectly black body
