Question

What cause the objects near the large flame to glow?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The light that you see in the flame is mostly created by the solid bits of airborne soot heating up so much that they glow via regular incandescence. The interface between the hot air in the flame and the colder surrounding air tends to bend light away from its forward-propagating direction

Answer 2

The objects near a large flame grow because-

• It is the basic phenomenon of reflection by objects.
• Every object, when light falls over it, reflects but it may or may not be visible to the eye.
• Different objects absorb light differently and hence, the extent of reflection differs.
• Any object, if kept near a large flame, glows because of reflection.
• A large flame is luminous enough that an object near it absorbs as much as it is able to and then reflect as well.
• The reflection is what we see as the glow on its surface.
