No, ice emits thermal radiation. It just emits less than so called room temperature. You need to get down to absolute zero, around -273C, to stop the emission of thermal radiation, which is caused by thermal activity.

Enough of it would, yes.

Radiation covers any electromagnetic energy, so you have to be more specific what radiation you're talking about.

Also the original temperature of the ice, its composition, the ambient temperature, and probably other factors I don't know about come into play.

Also unless its thousands of watts of radiation, or very close, the Sun will melt it faster. (I've seen solar energy noted at about 1000 watts per square meter.)

Yes. Objects at this temperature generally emit radiation in the infrared.

Which object emits the most radiation of these 4. Water dirt fir or ice?

It isn't clear what sort of radiation you are talking about. If you mean infrared radiation, if the temperature is the same, darker objects do tend to emit more radiation.

ice melting on a hot plate ... Convention, conduction or radiation?

The process of ice melting on a hot plate involves both conduction and radiation. Conduction: Initially, when the ice comes into direct contact with the hot plate, heat is transferred from the hot plate to the ice through conduction. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between two materials with different temperatures. Radiation: As the ice begins to melt and water droplets form, there may be some heat transfer through radiation. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, such as infrared radiation. The hot plate emits infrared radiation, which can be absorbed by the ice and water molecules, contributing to the melting process. So, in summary, conduction is the primary mechanism of heat transfer when the ice is in direct contact with the hot plate, while radiation plays a secondary role as the ice melts and water is present.
