hot, its electrons are in excited states. ... temperature, you'll find that the emitted 
radiation peaks over the range of wavelengths of visible light. [DOC] [TLE] Thermal radiation - Wikipedia [PAR] Thermal radiation in visible light can be seen on this hot metalwork. Its emission 
in the infrared is invisible to the human eye and the camera the image was taken 
with, but an infrared camera could show it (See Thermography). Thermal 
radiation is electromagnetic radiation generated by the thermal motion of

Second, a very hot object that radiates heat often has a characteristic color via ... 
Objects that are more darkly colored are dark because they reflect less visible 
light. [DOC] [TLE] Electromagnetic spectrum - Sun.org [PAR] Aug 6, 2014 ... Visible light is just a tiny fraction of all the existing wavelengths. ... Very hot 
objects of a million K or more emit their radiation mainly in gamma ... to blue; a
