If $e_\lambda$ and $a_\lambda$ are the emissive power and absorptive power of a body respectively,and $E_\lambda$ is the emissive power of a perfectly black body,what is the relation according to Kirchhoff's law?

  • A
    $a_\lambda = \frac{E_\lambda}{e_\lambda}$
  • B
    $\frac{a_\lambda}{e_\lambda} = E_\lambda$
  • C
    $\frac{e_\lambda}{a_\lambda} = E_\lambda$
  • D
    $e_\lambda = \frac{E_\lambda}{a_\lambda}$
