Put enough electrical energy into it and it surely will.

As objects heat they emit increasing amounts of Infrared; at a critical temperature atoms will start to produce a first order harmonic - i.e red light. With increasing energy, the statistical population of atoms emitting red light will increase until the object glows bright red.

Push in even more energy and you add a second order harmonic one musical fifth above red light - this light is green. Add to the red light and you now have orange. With increasing energy, the statistical population of atoms emitting both red and green light will then increase until the object is bright yellow.

Push in yet more energy and a third order harmonic is added; this is one musical octave above red; this light is blue. Eventually, you will be pushing in sufficient energy that the object glows brilliant white.

That's how a light bulb does it. However, a heater coil has been designed so that under normal operating conditions it will only produce Infrared

What type of radiation does a comet emit?

Like the planets, comets emit no visible light of their own-they shine by reflected (or reemitted) sunlight.


Is light in an incandescent bulb matter?

Yes, light in an incandescent bulb is a form of electromagnetic radiation, not matter. The light is produced by the heating of a tungsten filament in the bulb, causing it to emit visible light.


Do light bulbs emit radiation, and if so, what type of radiation do they emit?

Yes, light bulbs emit radiation in the form of visible light.

What kind of light do you emit?

Humans emit visible light in the form of infrared radiation, which is a type of electromagnetic radiation.


What gives off visible light under an ultraviolet light?

Fluorescent materials, phosphorescent materials, and objects containing fluorescent dyes or pigments can emit visible light when exposed to ultraviolet light. This phenomenon occurs as the ultraviolet light excites the molecules within these materials, causing them to re-emit visible light at a longer wavelength.


What kind of light do humans emit?

Humans emit infrared light, which is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye.


Do atoms only emit visible light?

Yes because it only have light in common?


Why does an incandescent light emit light?

An incandescent light emits light due to the heating of its filament wire, which causes the wire to become so hot that it glows and gives off visible light. This process is known as incandescence.
