Answer:

It will have a longer wavelength

Step-by-step explanation:

When an electric stove is hot and gives dull red glow. a part of the energy dissipated is emitted as visible light and part as infrared radiation in the form of heat. When the stove cools down, and no longer glows all the energy is now in the form of infrared radiation.In the electromagnetic spectrum infrared rays have a higher wavelength than visible light. Hence for the reason the radiation will have a higher wavelength since visible light is cut off.
