Scibynight Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Hello everyone. I was wondering if someone could explain to me why things burn with bright lights? I understand about electrons absorbing photons and jumping to higher states, then emitting them on returning to ground state. So why don't things release the MOST light as they cool? Surely while still in the flame they should mainly be absorbing??
