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.
Is torch light a luminous object?
No, a torch light is not a luminous object. The light emitted by the torch is produced by the conversion of electrical energy to light energy, rather than emitting light through its own chemical reactions like a luminous object would.
Is table luminous or non luminous?
It's non-luminous
Is television luminous or non luminous?
A TV, when it's on and showing an image is luminous. When it's off, it's non luminous.
Is a volcano erupting luminous or non luminous?
It is luminous
What are the types of non-luminous?
the types of non-luminous are bulb,candles ect
When a lamp is turned off is it luminous or non-luminous?
If the bulb is switched off, then we would call it non-luminous.
What are example of luminous objects?
Luminous objects are those that emit their own light. Examples of such objects include the following; the sun, lightened candle, stars, torch bulb and Hydrogen atoms.A luminous object is an object that gives off light. Here are some examples; A light bulb, torch, match, sun, lit candle.
Is a torch luminous or non luminous?
At first light it DOES sound a bit confusing. First, the definition of the term 'NON-LUMINOUS'; 'Not capable of PRODUCING light but can be capable of REFLECTING light from another source'. For instance, our MOON is NON-LUMINOUS as it REFLECTS light from the Sun. The SUN is LUMINOUS as it produces light that is REFLECTED off the surface of the moon. And so, LUMINOUS means capable of PRODUCING light. Now closely examine your flashlight. The BATTERIES produce electrical energy which is transferred to the BULB which emits light, thus LUMINOUS. The tiny little BULB emits quite a lot of light for its small size. However, the bulb is contained within a concave silvered cone which REFLECTS,(NON-LUMINOUS) gathers and channels the emitted light from the BULB (LUMINOUS) into a BEAM which ILLUMINATES whatever you are pointing the flashlight at. Our cameras would be just paperweights if there were no NON-LUMINOUS surfaces for the light to REFLECT off of, back into the camera lens, onto the 'plate' thus etching the image. For example, take a photograph in the dark without the flash and what do you get. No LUMINOUS, no NON-LUMINOUS. And so there we have LUMINOUS and NON-LUMINOUS, ILLUMINATING our lives. Enjoy! :)
Definition of luminous and non-luminous sources of light?
Luminous sources of light are objects that emit light due to their own energy, like the sun or a light bulb. Non-luminous sources of light are objects that reflect light from luminous sources without emitting light themselves, like the moon or a mirror.
How come you can see the stars?
Stars give out light energy, that is they are luminous. Thus we see them for the same reason we see a lighted torch bulb.
What is luminouse and non-luminouse?
i think luminous means when something gives off light and non-luminous means when something does not give off light.
What is the difference between luminous and non luminous?
-A non-luminous flame is when the air hole of the Bunsen burner is closed but a luminous flame is produced when the air hole is opened.-A luminous flame has an outer of orange colour and an inner of blue. A non-luminous flame has an outer of blue and an inner of orange.-A luminous flame produces soot while a non-luminous does not produce soot.-A luminous flame is weak and unsteady. A non-luminous flame is strong and steady.-A non-luminous flame is very hot while a luminous flame is not too hot.
Is a torch luminous?
Only if it is lit.
Name two objects which are non-luminous at room temperature but can be made luminous when heated?
-- the filament in an incandescent light bulb-- the coils in a bread toaster
