A flat-bottomed hole 6 mm in diameter is bored to a depth of 24 mm in a diffuse, gray material having an emissivity of 0.8 and a uniform temperature of 1000 K.

(a) Determine the radiant power leaving the opening of the cavity.

(b) The effective emissivity ε_e of a cavity is defined as the ratio of the radiant power leaving the cavity to that from a blackbody having the area of the cavity opening and a temperature of the inner surfaces of the cavity. Calculate the effective emissivity of the cavity described above.

(c) If the depth of the hole were increased, would ε_e increase or decrease? What is the limit of ε_e as the depth increases?
