Identification of Properties

• (a) Colour of a filament;

• (b) Age of a vehicle tire;

• (c) Life of a bulb ;

• (d) Specific heat of a solid;

• (e) Pressure;

• (f) Temperature;

• (g) heat;

• (h) Calorific value of a fuel.

Colour is due to Incandescence

Incandescence is the emission of light (visible electromagnetic radiation) from a hot body as a result of its temperature.
