Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Blackbody radiation is the electromagnetic radiation emitted by an ideal radiator that absorbs all radiation incident upon it. It is dependent on the temperature of the object. The wavelength at which the object emits the maximum amount of radiation (brightness) is inversely proportional to its temperature according to Wien's law. Therefore, the temperature of the object and the wavelength at which it is brightest have a unique correspondence.
