Final answer:
The correct answer is B. a dim light bulb. Emitted light refers to light that is produced or generated by an object itself. A dim light bulb does not produce or generate its own light, instead, it emits or releases light from an external source.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is B. a dim light bulb.
Emitted light refers to light that is produced or generated by an object itself. In this case, a dim light bulb is not an example of emitted light because it does not produce or generate its own light. Instead, it emits or releases light from an external source.
On the other hand, options A, C, and D are all examples of emitted light. The bright rings around a planet can be caused by the reflection or scattering of light from the planet's atmosphere or other sources. A shining flashlight produces light through the emission of photons from a power source. A bright star emits its own light through nuclear fusion in its core.
