Please help me! 8. Give an example of a poor blackbody radiator and explain why it is not a good blackbody radiator.
9. Does a blackbody radiator emit light waves? Explain.

A black body radiator is an idealized body that absorbs all incoming electromagnetic radiation (thus the name of "black body").

A black body radiator is an object that has a lot of thermal energy, and it irradiates its thermal energy in the form of black body radiation (thermal radiation emitted by a black body).

a) Then, we could go to the trivial case of a mirror, a mirror is a poor blackbody radiator because a mirror reflects most of the incoming electromagnetic radiation, thus, a mirror is a really bad approximation for a black body, then a mirror is a poor black body radiator.

b) Any electromagnetic wave is a light wave (there exists "light" that we can not see). A black body radiator irradiates energy, and this radiation is in the form of electromagnetic waves, which are in essence, light waves.

the answer is false
