Relatively hot objects emit visible light.
Some examples:
==> the wire coils in the toaster;
==> the spoon that you stuck in the flame on the stove;
==> the fine wire in the lightbulb when current goes through it.
VERY radioactive objects also do that. But if you're actually
standing there watching an object that's THAT radioactive,
then you're in big trouble.
The kind of wave it is Longitudinal
C is what i would go with
data which is expressed in form of following way

here in above expression
= true value
= uncertainty in the value
now the relative uncertainty is given as

now by above formula we can say
a) 2.70 ± 0.05cm
here
True value = 2.70
uncertainty = 0.05
Relative uncertainty =
= 0.0185
b) 12.02 ± 0.08cm
here
True value = 12.02
uncertainty = 0.08
Relative uncertainty =
= 0.00665
