What is a black body?

What will be an ideal response?


A black body is one which has surfaces that allow all potential photons or
packets of electromagnetic radiation to radiate orthogonally out from the
surface in a diffuse manner. It also allows all photons that arrive at the surface
to enter the body in an orthogonal fashion.
