Why is it difficult to discern the shapes of the object inside a very hot kiln.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

When the object is inside a hot kiln, the object gets heated and thus emit thermal radiation. The kiln is an example of near ideal black body. As the temperature of the object increases, it begins to glow red and then white at high temperatures.

Conclusion:

The glowing of the hot kiln and the hot object emits continuous wavelength from infrared, visible and ultraviolet portions of the spectrum. So, it is difficult to discern the shapes of the object inside a very hot kiln
