Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation states that, for a body in thermal equilibrium, the emissivity (the efficiency of a body in emitting thermal radiation) at a given wavelength and temperature is equal to the absorptivity (the efficiency of a body in absorbing thermal radiation) at that same wavelength and temperature. This relationship implies that good emitters of thermal radiation are also good absorbers.
