Answer:
Here is the answer for your question:
Incandescence is the emission of electromagnetic radiation (including visible light) from a hot body as a result of its high temperature.The term derives from the Latin verb incandescere, to glow white.
Hot metal work glows with visible light. This thermal radiation also extends into the infrared, invisible to the human eye and the camera the image was taken with, but an infrared camera could show it .
The incandescent metal embers of the spark used to light this Bunsen burner emit light ranging in color from white to orange to yellow to red or to blue. This change correlates with their temperature as they cool in the air. The flame itself is not incandescent, as its blue color comes from the quantized transitions that result from the oxidation of CH radicals.
Incandescence is a special case of thermal radiation. Incandescence usually refers specifically to visible light, while thermal radiation refers also to infrared or any other electromagnetic radiation.
