English: Hot colors - the visible color of objects heated to incandescence. The spectrum of the thermal radiation depends on the temperature, so by observing the color of an incandescent object it is possible to determine its approximate temperature quickly and easily without high precision equipment.
This is a list of sources of light, the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum.Light sources produce photons from another energy source, such as heat, chemical reactions, or conversion of mass or a different frequency of electromagnetic energy, and include light bulbs and stars like the Sun. Reflectors (such as the moon, cat's eyes, and mirrors) do not actually produce the light that ...

For example, although far-field thermal radiation at distances from surfaces of more than one wavelength is generally not coherent to any extent, near-field thermal radiation (i.e., radiation at distances of a fraction of various radiation wavelengths) may exhibit a degree of both temporal and spatial coherence.
Work No. 227: The lights going on and off [1] is an installation by British artist Martin Creed. As of 2013 [update] , it forms part of the permanent collection at Tate Britain . [ 2 ] The installation is widely considered to be one of Creed's signature art works [ 3 ] and has also been described as Creed's "most notorious work".
