Answer:

Explain

Step-by-step explanation:

An object is said to be hotter when its temperature is comparitively higher. By stephan Boltzman law energy radiated by an object is directly proportional to the fourth power of its temperature. Therefore, the objects at higher temperature radiate more energy than than that at lower temperature. Moreover, at higher temperature the collision between electrons are more frequent and on colliding more energetic photons are emitted by these hot bodies.
