  • the blue will look brighter as compared to the red piece.

  • Both the pieces will look equal red.

Solution

C.

the blue will look brighter as compared to the red piece.

When the blue glass is heated at a high temperature. It absorbs all the radiation of higher wavelength except blue. If it is taken inside a dimly -lit room, it emits all the radiation of higher wavelength, hence it looks brighter as compared to the red piece.
