the state of glowing while at a high temperature, caused by electrons in vibration atoms and molecules that are shaken in and out of their stable energy levels, emitting radiant energy in the process. The peak frequency of radiant energy is proportional to the absolute temperature of a heated substance
Correct, an electric bell does not exhibit incandescence. Incandescence is the emission of light due to high temperature, typically seen in incandescent light bulbs. Electric bells operate using an electromagnet to produce sound, not light.
light not due to incandescence; occurs at low temperatures

The colors of incandescence change from red to orange to white as the temperature increases. This is because higher temperatures cause objects to emit shorter wavelengths of light, shifting the color from the lower end of the visible spectrum (red) to the higher end (white).
Incandescence is the emission of light due to high temperature, such as in a traditional light bulb, while luminescence is the emission of light without heat, like in glow-in-the-dark materials. Incandescence is less energy efficient because it produces more heat than light, while luminescence is more energy efficient as it produces light without generating excess heat.
