Why does amount of black body radiation emitted depend on temperature of object?
Rohinikrishnamoorthi
- The hotter an object gets the faster its atoms vibrate.
- Vibration can be considered as a repeating cycle of accelerating, decelerating and then accelerating back again in the other direction.
- Accelerating charges radiate energy
- Hence, vibrating atoms radiate energy
- Hotter atoms vibrate more quickly so do more accelerating, so they emit more radiation!

How does the frequency of light emitted depend upon the temperature?
The black body equation describes this in detail, it is called Plank's law. All bodies emit electromagnetic radiation. The hotter the body the higher the average frequency. Refer to the links in the Related links for lots of detail.
What between an extensive and an intensive property?
Intensive properties do not depend on the matter's amount of the physical system (mass density, temperature ...). Extensive properties do depend on the amount of matter that is present (volume, mass and size).
What is the amount of energy in plasma?
It can vary; a plasma can have a temperature of a few thousand degrees, or millions, or even billions of degrees - in each case, the amount of energy will be different. Of course, the amount of energy will also depend on the amount of plasma we are talking about.
Can an object be hotter than another if they have same temperature?
because thermal energy doesn't depend only on the temperature of an object but also form its mass so the objects might have different amount of mass
Does density depend on the amount present?
No.
What degree do you tan at?
That doesn't depend on the temperature, but on the amount of UV radiation you receive.
How are colors produced and why?
Colours are produced when electromagnetic radiation is emitted. The precise colour will depend on the wavelength of the radiation.
Does temperature depend on the amount of a substances?
The answer is no
Does the amount if heat radiation absorbed by a surface depend only on its colour?
no
Does the amount of radiation you give off depend on what is inside of you?
Yes. Radiation is emanated from radioactive material, so the amount of radiation that someone "gives off" is a function of how much radioactive material they have inside them.
Is energy emitted or absorbed when an electron moves from an excited state to a ground state?
Emitted, and the precise amount of energy that is emitted will depend on what kind of atom, and moving from which excited state. That's how spectrographs can determine what element is present.

Are specific colors of light emitted by an atom in a hot thin gas caused by electrons jumping to lower energy levels?
Not sure what you mean by "specific," but some light being emitted from a hot thin gas is, indeed, caused in that way. Other light is simply black body radiation, which does not depend on the type of atoms in the gas, but only upon the temperature of that gas.
How many minutes dry ice will gone?
That would depend on a variety of factors: The amount of dry ice you have, its exact shape, the external temperature, whether there is wind, and how much.That would depend on a variety of factors: The amount of dry ice you have, its exact shape, the external temperature, whether there is wind, and how much.That would depend on a variety of factors: The amount of dry ice you have, its exact shape, the external temperature, whether there is wind, and how much.That would depend on a variety of factors: The amount of dry ice you have, its exact shape, the external temperature, whether there is wind, and how much.
Is temperature an intensive property?
Temperature would be an intensive property, because it does not depend on the amount of substance being investigated.
What is the range of electromagnetic radiation produced by a star?
That will depend a lot on the star's temperature. The highest frequencies can be infrared radiation, red light, blue light, ultraviolet, or even x-rays - all depending on the star's surface temperature.
On which two factors does the final temperature of a mixture of hot and cold water depend?
Atmospheric pressure and saline content of the water.
