According to Wien's Law, the wavelength at which an object emits the most radiation is inversely proportional to its temperature. As temperature increases, the peak wavelength of the emitted radiation shifts towards shorter wavelengths, which corresponds to higher frequencies. Therefore, the higher the temperature of an object, the higher frequency it radiates.

The Higher the Temperature of an Object, the
