Question

Why are the colors of metal different than the blackbody spectrum?

Answer 1

hey buddy !! here's your answer...

Most materials, including metals, obey black body curves whose areas contain the total energy radiated and are a function of temperature.

For 1250 K most of the radiation is in longer wavelengths than the visible. At 1750 K the red visible wavelengths are present , hence "red hot metal". As temperatures go higher, more short wavelengths occur.

The smaller wavelengths belong to higher temperature sources, as sparks and stars

the amount of energy in the visible spectrum is very small, but enough so that it is recorded in the wavelength intensity plot. 

hope it helps !! ❤️✌️
