Two hot copper and steel balls long sitting in a perfect thermos flask. Would they attain the same temperature and radiation spectrum?
That makes sense. How would the radiation spectrum differ between the two balls?
Copper has a higher thermal conductivity and better emissivity than steel, which would affect the radiation spectrum. The copper ball would emit more radiation at a given temperature compared to the steel ball, and its radiation would be more consistent across the spectrum.
