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

of light Always knew you would shine right Answer here

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