The emissivity of a surface coated with aluminum oxide can be approximated to be 0.15 for radiation

Question:

The emissivity of a surface coated with aluminum oxide can be approximated to be 0.15 for radiation at wavelengths less than 5 μm and 0.9 for radiation at wavelengths greater than 5 μm. Determine the average emissivity of this surface at

(a) 5800 K

(b) 300 K. What can you say about the absorptivity of this surface for radiation coming from sources at 5800 K and 300 K?
