D)with longer wavelengths.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Wien's Law, the peak frequency of radiation emitted by an object is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. Therefore, if an object is heated to twice its absolute temperature, the peak frequency of its emitted radiation will also double, leading to Option A as the correct answer.
