Which of the following determine(s)the kind (wavelength)and amount of radiation that an object emits?
A)temperature
B)thermal conductivity
C)density
D)latent heat

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Temperature is the main determining factor for the kind and amount of radiation emitted by an object. As temperature increases, the objects emit radiation with shorter wavelengths and higher intensities, as described by Planck's law. Thermal conductivity, density, and latent heat, on the other hand, do not directly affect the radiation emitted by an object.
