The Stefan–Boltzmann law :
J = kT^4 where k is Stefan–Boltzmann constant.

but for non black body ( or grey body)
the equ becomes
J = εkT^4
where 0<ε<1

can anyone explain y a grey body emit less radiation when compare to the black body at same T? It can found the ans in wiki or the reference book "modern physics"

thank you

What is the condition it has to meet to be considered a blackbody? (Why is a blackbody "black"?)

Compare with grey.
 
Black body absorb all incident em wave while grey body absorbs a part of it and reflects the remains
 
Black-body also radiates at the same rate as it absorbs.
A grey body is just the same as a black-body but it absorbs less energy - therefore it has less energy to radiate.
 
Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
