Question
lesson 30 - heat
which object produce the most radiation?
□ objects that are poor radiation absorbers
□ objects with the lowest temperatures
□ objects with the highest temperatures
□ objects that are good radiation absorbers
According to the Stefan-Boltzmann law, the rate of thermal radiation emitted by an object is proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature ($P \propto T^4$). Higher temperature objects emit significantly more radiation. While good absorbers are also good emitters, temperature is the primary factor determining radiation amount here.
