How are Infrared and Visible photons different from one another?
As an object is heated, the peak in its thermal emission spectrum may shift out of the visible part of the spectrum. Does this make the object invisible? Why or why not?
Human eyes are best equiped to see light which is in the yellow-green part of the spectrum because the surface of the sun is about 5000 K. If the surface of the sun were only half as hot, where would the peak in the spectrum be?
A) UV
B) Blue
C) Infrared
D) Red
