electromagnetic radiation - The rule breaker, emissivity + reflectivity = 1


If emissivity and reflectivity are inversely proportionate, why does glass have a high emissivity of around 0.95-0.97 as well as being very reflective for IR Radiation?


normally it works but not with glass!


Can anyone explain this?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
