Question

A sphere is suspended in air in a dark room and maintained at a uniform incandescent temperature. When first viewed with the naked eye, the sphere appears to be brighter around the rim. After several hours, however, it appears to be brighter in the center. Of what type material would you reason the sphere is made? Give plausible reasons for the non-uniformity of brightness of the sphere and for the changing appearance with time.
