Concept explainers
If we can heat a piece of metal until it glows blue-hot red-hot and then to white-hot and the reason behind this fact is to be explained.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
When the metal is heated, the emitted photon falls into the wavelength of the visible light spectrum.
Yes, metal can glow blue-hot when the temperature of the metal is increased. When the temperature is increased, then the energy of the emitted photons is also increased. Increasing the energy decreases the
Conclusion:
Yes, metal can glow blue-hot.
