    A)  white                                  

    B)  red

    C)  green                  

    D)         invisible

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    From Kirchhoffs law at a definite temperature and for a given wavelength, the ratio of the emissive power to the absorptive power for different surfaces is same. \[ie,\]                    \[\frac{{{e}_{\lambda }}}{{{a}_{\lambda }}}={{E}_{\lambda }}\] When red glass is heated in a dark room to a red hoi stale it will appear green, because according to Kirchhoffs law the emissive power of red glass will be maximum for green light.
