Do you mean 'how does the colour of a flame relate to its temperature?'

Well, every colour of light relates to a certain wavelength, which relates to a certain frequency, which relates to a certain energy of light photon via E=hf.

at higher temp, light being emitted by a substance will be more dominant in the lower wavelengths, whereas at lower temp (think background temp in your house), the radiation given off is much longer wavelength (infrared). Its the same energy, just different wavelengths!

So, a blue flame will be hotter than a red flame, but colder than a flame that might be invisible, because its emitting ultraviolet, which is very short wavelength.

Which is why you must be careful with buns-ton burners with invisible flames!

What is The temperature of the body and its color called?

The temperature of the body is referred to as "body temperature," while its color is often associated with "skin tone." Body temperature typically averages around 98.6°F (37°C) in a healthy adult. Skin color can vary widely among individuals and is influenced by genetic factors, environmental exposure, and melanin levels.


How does fire make light?

When a material is heated to a high enough temperature, it emits light through a process called incandescence. In the case of fire, the heat generated by the combustion of material causes it to glow and emit light. The color of the light emitted depends on the temperature of the fire, with hotter fires appearing blue or white and cooler fires appearing yellow or orange.

What is the temperature of charcoal?

Charcoal can exist in wide range of temperatures. When not burning, it is room temperature. When burning, it gets very hot. But even then, the temperature can vary quite a bit. Not all fires are equally hot.


Is fire transparent?

Fire is not transparent. It emits light and has a color due to the chemical processes taking place during combustion. The color of fire can vary based on the temperature and the materials burning.
