00:07

year ago a student moved a thermometer farther and farther

00:11

away from the blue portion of the spectrum towards the

00:15

prism Well at a certain point the thermometer temperature's stopped

00:19

changing What's the best explanation for what happened Did time

00:24

stands still Okay Well think about it While light is

00:29

indeed influencing the temperature of the thermometer in this spectrum

00:33

that's projected by the prism there will the air surrounding

00:37

the thermometer also influences the thermometer riding same temperature Well

00:42

anything that has a temperature including air emits infrared radiation

00:47

So as you're reading this you're actually emitting a type

00:51

of light Always knew you would shine right Answer here

00:54

It's the ambient air temperature limits the thermometer from dropping

01:00

lower You know like the ocean is keeps everything kind

01:03
