Solution
If a blackened bulb thermometer is moved from the violet end towards the red end, first a steady rise in temperature is observed, but as the thermometer goes beyond the red end, there is a rapid rise in temperature. This shows the existence of some kind of radiation producing the heating effect beyond the red end of the spectrum.
If the radiations from the red end to the violet end are made to fall on the silver chloride solution, it almost remains unaffected beyond the violet end of the spectrum.
