Solution
The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect A perfect black body is one which absorbs all heat radiations (whatever be the wavelength) incident on it. No natural object is perfect black body. Best approximations are lamp and platinum black. Fery's black body is a double walled metallic sphere coated with lamp black on the inside and nickel an outside. IT has a narrow opening opposite a conical projection inside ∴ Both assertion and reason are false.
