Why do some metals glow red-hot while others barely change color? The answer lies in black body radiation, atomic structure, and the way metals absorb and emit energy. In this video, we explore the fascinating science behind glowing metals and uncover why materials like tungsten shine brightly while others, like lead, remain dull. 🔥🔬

From the fiery forges of blacksmiths to the glowing filaments of incandescent bulbs, this phenomenon has shaped industries and inspired countless innovations. Watch until the end to learn how scientists manipulate heat emission for spacecraft, high-performance engines, and even fireworks!

Since we are on the topic of metals can you please do an episode about induction heating and how it works! Would also love to see an episode about electric arc furnaces! Thanks for your teams great work! 👍

All matter glows when heated. It's basic physics

ALL materials, metals & the rest, glow according to Planck's law, INDEPENDENT of the composition of the materials and dependent ONLY on temperature and reflectivity.
