Can a flashlight be luminous and nonluminous?

No, a flashlight is considered luminous because it generates its own light by converting battery power into light energy. Nonluminous objects do not produce their own light and rely on external light sources for illumination.


What does nonluminous body mean?

A nonluminous body is an object that does not emit light of its own. Instead, it reflects light from other sources, such as the Sun or artificial light sources. Examples of nonluminous bodies include the Moon, planets, and most asteroids.

Yes, light bulbs themselves are considered nonluminous because they do not produce light on their own. They require electricity to pass through a filament, which then emits light, making the bulb appear luminous.


Is a mirror non-luminous and why?

Yes, a mirror is nonluminous. It does not emit light by itself, it only reflects light emitted by other things.


Is this a correct definition If it cannot reflect light is it nonluminous. For instance fabric cannot reflect light but it does not emit its own light?

No, that is an incorrect definition. Luminous means creating its own light. Non-luminous just means not creating its own light. For instance the Moon is non-luminous. It *does* reflect light. It just does not create its own. Fabric also reflects light. It does not reflect it the same way a mirror does (mostly the light it reflects is scattered) but the fact that you can see the fabric even though it is not emitting light itself means it is reflecting light emitted from other objects. However, it is still non-luminous because it does not create its own light.


Differentiate luminous and non-luminous?

Luminous objects emit their own light, such as the sun or a light bulb, whereas non-luminous objects do not produce light but reflect light from other sources, like the moon or a table. Luminous objects are sources of light, while non-luminous objects only appear visible when light is shone upon them.

a non-luminous flame- when the air hole of the Bunsen Burner is open"when the air hole is open, more oxygen can enter the burner; therefore, hotter flame will be produced."its color is transparent or blueBlue flames are the hottest flamesa luminous flame is produced when the air hole is closed.."if the air hole is closed, oxygen cannot enter the burner; therefore, least hotter because the combustion is not fully complete with least oxygenA luminous flame has an outer of orange color and an inner of blue.Luminous flames emits more light than non-luminous flames.three things to produce flame1.fuel2.oxygen3.friction or source of sparkLuminous objects emit light. The sun is luminous; the moon is non-luminous.
