Q119 / 180 · JIPMER 2017 · Physics
A piece of blue glass heated to a high temperature and a piece of red glass at room temperature are taken inside a dimly-lit room. Then,
- Athe blue piece will look blue and the red piece will look red as usual.
- Bthe red piece will look brighter red and the blue piece will look ordinary blue.
- Correct answerCthe blue will look brighter as compared to the red piece.
- Dboth the pieces will look equal red.
Solution
When blue glass is heated at high temperature, it absorbs all the radiation of higher wavelength except blue. If it is taken inside a dimly-lit room, it emits all the radiation of higher wavelength, hence it looks brighter as compared to the red piece.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
