Please help me! 8. Give an example of a poor blackbody radiator and explain why it is not a good blackbody radiator.
9. Does a blackbody radiator emit light waves? Explain.

A black body radiator is an idealized body that absorbs all incoming electromagnetic radiation (thus the name of "black body").

A black body radiator is an object that has a lot of thermal energy, and it irradiates its thermal energy in the form of black body radiation (thermal radiation emitted by a black body).

a) Then, we could go to the trivial case of a mirror, a mirror is a poor blackbody radiator because a mirror reflects most of the incoming electromagnetic radiation, thus, a mirror is a really bad approximation for a black body, then a mirror is a poor black body radiator.

b) Any electromagnetic wave is a light wave (there exists "light" that we can not see). A black body radiator irradiates energy, and this radiation is in the form of electromagnetic waves, which are in essence, light waves.

magnitude and direction

most voltage drop calculators want the distance between the source and destination. then internally, they double it so both the source and return wires are calculated. but you need to know which distance the calculator uses so you're not half of what you should be or double what you should be.

most circuit breakers will not take a #6 directly, so the electrician will have to splice on a smaller pigtail. you also have to upsize the grounding wire when you upsized the ungrounded (hot) wire (see note in 250.122). this will preclude using most cable assemblies, as a cable with #6 copper will most likely only have a #10 grounding conductor. you need a #6 grounding conductor if the circuit is 20a. a #8 cable is no better, as it will have a #10 grounding conductor too. but most 20a breakers will take a #8 directly.

in your related post, you didn't say what type of load this is. if it is a light or heater, voltage drop won't be a big issue. if this is a motor, the current needs are huge at startup and the voltage drop can pose a problem. if this is a motor, knowing if the motor is under much load during startup will answer the voltage drop effect (a saw is easier to start than a compressor).
