 the answer is 'blue shines brighter red as compared to the red piece'....

d reason is since blue glass was heated to a higher temperature it will glow more brightly acc to kirchoff's law: good absorbers are good emitters...

i thought ans should be the blue glass will look blue and red will look red as usual as wavelength is inversely proportional to temperature........am i wrong???

Good absorber are good emitter - Kirchoff's Law

and acc. to Prevost's Law any body at any temp more than 0K emits heat radiations

In dark/dimly lit room    Emitted heat>Absorbed heat

so if the blue piece absorbs red wavwlwngth it will emit red wavelength,

m 1/T  for cooresponding wavelength of MAXIMUM spectral emissive power for a BLACK BODY.

At certain TEMP, on increasing , spectral emissive power increases upto maximum value after which it decreases.

the temp. is not constant in your case.

hope it helps
