What determines the kind of wavelength and the amount of radiation that an object emits?
The temperature of an object determines the type of wavelength it emits. An object at a higher temperature emits shorter wavelengths, such as visible light or ultraviolet radiation, while colder objects emit longer wavelengths, like infrared radiation. The amount of radiation emitted is governed by the object's temperature and its emissivity, which is a measure of how efficiently an object can emit radiation.
