M.A.Padmanabha Rao Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Metals are known for incandescence. However, for the first timemetals have shown UV dominant optical spectrum at room temperaturewhen present as radioisotopes or X-ray fluorescent (XRF) sources.Radioisotope 57Co has shown UV dominant optical spectrum at roomtemperature. http://www.geocities.com/raomap/discovery3.html Despite the fact metals are opaque to light at room temperature UV dominant optical spectrum was detected because excited atoms in radioisotopes and XRF sources act as 'Atomic state of matter' independent of temperature.http://www.geocities.com/raomap/discovery5.html Prof.M.A.Padmanabha rao[email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
