Question 1 Report

Which of the following is not self-luminous?
Answer Details
The correct answer is "The moon". The moon does not emit its own light, but reflects the light of the sun. This makes it a non-self-luminous object. An incandescent electric bulb, incandescent fluorescent tube, and a lighted candle all emit light due to a process called incandescence. The sun is a self-luminous object, as it emits light and heat due to nuclear fusion reactions occurring in its core.
