Is a flame red flame hotter than a yellow flame?

No, yellow is hotter. The progression, from least hot to hottest, goes: black-red, dark red, bright red, light red, orange, yellow, blue, white-yellow, white.


Does blue fire mean it's the hottest or coldest or electric?

Blue light is of a higher energy than red light. That means that the fire with the blue light is hotter, as the fire must generally be hotter to generate the blue light. For example, in a gas flame, the blue, which is hottest, is in the middle, and any yellow, orange or red is around the outside.


Is a blue star hotter than a red giant?

blue stars are hotter


How color of light is related with surface temperature?

Because,Blue is the hottest light/fire and Red is the less hottest light/fire the bluer the fire/light the hotter it is,The redder it gets,the less hotter it gets from the temperature.


Is white hot hotter than red hot?

Yes. Red comes from the lowest energy range of and blue from the highest. LMAO So when an object gets hot enough to glow it produces red light first. As the object gets hotter it begins to emit yellow, green, then blue light. But it doesn't stop producing the red light either. So when the object is very hot it is producing red, yellow, green, and blue light. Since white light is all the colors combined, the object looks white.


Which is hotter red stars or whitish - blue stars?

Why are the hottest stars blue and the coldest stars red?

Blue photons are higher-energy than red photons. The equations governing the emission of light based solely on temperature state that an object giving off primarily blue light is hotter than one giving off primarily red light.


Which is hotter a red star or a blue star why?

a blue star is hotter then a red star because it is younger and thus has more energy. a good example of this is when you look at a flame on a lighter you see blue light at the bottom because blue is hottest and closest to the heat source whereas the red-orange flame at the top is farther away from the heat source and thus is not as hot as the blue.

Which is hot a blue star or a red star and why?

All stars are hot. Blue stars are the hottest. The hotter a star is, the shorter the wavelength of light it emits. Blue light has a shorter wavelengths than most other colors.


What star is hotter a star giving off red light or blue light?

That question is a little tricky. What is certain is that if the light is coming from a hot object like a glowing heater element, yellow light indicates that the element is hotter. It is also true that a single photon of yellow light carries more energy than a single photon of red light and is "hotter" in that sense. So in general, yellow light is hotter, but if you are simply talking about narrowband filtered light from a single source, a human will not ordinarily be able to sense the difference, and which color is more intense will depend on the spectrum of the light source.
