the law that, in thermal equilibrium, a body's emissive power relative to its absorptivity at each wavelength is the same universal function of temperature for all bodies.

In optics, Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation refers to the law that, in thermal equilibrium, a body's emissive power relative to its absorptivity at each wavelength is the same universal function of temperature for all bodies. This meaning comes from Kirchhoff (1860) in Annalen der Physik.[1]
