    Light produced
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on understanding how the combustion of fuel, an intense thermochemical process, generates light as an electromagnetic wave. It highlights that the violent motion of charged particles, driven by high temperatures, is responsible for light emission. The concept of blackbody radiation is suggested as a key reference for further exploration of this phenomenon. The relationship between kinetic energy and light production is emphasized, illustrating the connection between thermal processes and electromagnetic radiation. This explanation clarifies the scientific basis for light generation during combustion.

I am not quiet sure where should i post this question, so forgive me if i asked this question at the wrong place. Now my Question is that how can an intensely thermochemical process like burning of a fuel produce, something like light which is a electromagnetic wave ?

Violent motion of charges radiates light. The source of the violent motion is the kinetic energy of their high temperature. Look up "blackbody radiation" on Wikipedia.
