Under thermal equilibrium, the blackbody continuously emits and absorb e.m. radiation power, and reaches equilibrium condition. The electromagnetic radiation called blackbody radiation. The radiation is emitted according to Planck's law, where the radiation spectrum is determined by the temperature alone, not by the body's shape or composition.
A black body in thermal equilibrium has two notable properties: 1. It is an ideal emitter: at every frequency, it emits as much energy as – or more energy than any other body at the same temperature. 2. It is a diffuse emitter: the energy is radiated isotropically, independent of direction.

In a rectangular cavity, with perfectly conducting walls, filled with uniform dielectric medium. The boundary condition requires the electric field on the wall is zero, which leads to the standing wave solution. Cavity mode: a standing wave solution in a cavity with a definite wave vector k is a mode.

A black body is an idealized physical body that absorbs all incident electromagnetic radiation, regardless of frequency or angle of incidence. (A white body is one with a "rough surface that reflects all incident rays completely and uniformly in all directions.“)
