Yes, anything that gives off light e.g. the sun is luminous. So would be a lamp and the moon, however not all things e.g. Not a mirror, not a table and not a piece of paper.

how can a flashlight be both luminous and non-luminous at the some time?

A flashlight can be both luminous and non-luminous at the same time if it is turned on in a well-lit room. The flashlight itself emits light (luminous) while the ambient light in the room also contributes to the overall illumination (non-luminous).


What are the advantages of using a non-luminous flame?

Non- Luminous can burn efficiently because luminous flames don't burn as efficiently as non-luminous ones, they don't produce as much energy. This means that the non-luminous flames have a lot more energy than luminous ones, and their flames are actually hotter. This is why the luminous ones look yellow and the non-luminous ones look blue. Hotter flames burn blue and (relatively) cooler ones burn yellow.


Should a luminous or non luminous Bunsen flame be used for heating in the laboratory and why?

Non-luminous flame should be used for heating in the laboratory because the flame is steady and produce little or no soot.Non-luminous flame is very hot thus, it is recommendable to use for laboratory purposes.Luminous flame is unsteady while non-luminous flame is steady.Another reason of using non-luminous flame because the flame of non-luminous is blue, and not visible unlike the luminous flame which is yellow in colour and visible.


Why is it advisable to turn a luminous flame to a non luminous flame when the flame is not in use?

Turning a luminous flame to a non-luminous flame when not in use conserves fuel because non-luminous flames burn more efficiently. A non-luminous flame produces less soot and smoke, making it safer and better for indoor air quality.


Is the temperature of a luminous flame greater or less than that of a nonluminous flame?

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.

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.


Luminouse objects produce what kind of light?

Luminous objects usually give out the light that they make on their own. An example of a luminous object is a star or an LED lamp.


Is a lamp luminous or non luminous?

Planets( Mercury, Venus, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) and also Moons are Non-Luminous objects they don't emit light. The reason we see them because they reflect light from the Sun.


How many lumen in a 25 watt incandescent light bulb?

a 100W incandescent lamp emits 120 candela.lumen is the unit for luminous intensity per steradian ,an lamp emits in all directiontherefore a 16.25watt lamp contains 19.5 lumenAnswerThe lumen is the SI unit for luminous flux -which describes the output power of visible light expressed in photometric units. The ratio of a lamp's output luminous flux to its input power is termed 'efficacy', expressed in lumens per watt. The efficacy for incandescent lamp varies from 5-15 lumens per watt. So the output of a 16.25-W incandescent lamp will be between 80-245 W.

Formula between Current and luminous intensity?

Any formula relating those two quantities must depend on the technique used to generate light by means of electric current. We know that there can't be one universal formula because, for example, we know that a compact fluorescent lamp uses less current to produce more luminous intensity than an incandescent lamp.


What is an astral lamp?

An astral lamp is a type of oil lamp that produces a bright and steady flame. It is often used for decorative purposes or as a source of light in outdoor settings. The term "astral" refers to its ability to produce a luminous and ethereal light.
