blackbody
noun
a hypothetical object capable of absorbing all the electromagnetic radiation falling on it
-

a black body maintained at a constant temperature is a full radiator at that temperature because the radiation reaching and leaving it must be in equilibrium

Syn: ↑black body, ↑full radiator
Hypernyms: ↑natural object
