Incandescent light. Incandescent light is given off when an object is heated until it glows. To emit white light, an object must be heated to at least 1,341Â°F (727Â°C). White-hot iron in a forge, red lava flowing down a volcano, and the red burners on an electric stove are all examples of incandescence. The most common example of incandescence is the white-hot filament in the light-bulb of an incandescent lamp.

The general purpose of statutes of limitation is to make sure convictions occur only upon evidence (physical or eyewitness) that has not deteriorated with time.
