Qubit (game show) lustrous metal is the seventy-fourth element on the periodic table?" If the contestant answers incorrectly or passes, the host reads a clue such as: "Its chemical symbol is W, which stands for" Wolfram, "the German name of this element." If the contestant still answers incorrectly or passes, the host reads two choices, such as: "Is it platinum or tungsten?" Tungsten is the correct answer. The other answer is changed if necessary so it is not an answer already tried by the contestant. If the constant still answers incorrectly at this point, a 10-second time penalty is applied. The contestant with
Melting point point (typically considered to be above, say, 1800 °C) may be determined by heating the material in a black body furnace and measuring the black-body temperature with an optical pyrometer. For the highest melting materials, this may require extrapolation by several hundred degrees. The spectral radiance from an incandescent body is known to be a function of its temperature. An optical pyrometer matches the radiance of a body under study to the radiance of a source that has been previously calibrated as a function of temperature. In this way, the measurement of the absolute magnitude of the intensity of radiation
