Question

The color of light emitted by a hot, solid object depends on ______.

A. the temperature of the object.
B. the size of the object.
C. the material from which the object is made.
D. the shape of the object.
E. the color of the object.

Answer 1

The correct option is (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

When the temperature of the hot solid object increases then the radiation which emits from it gets shifted to smaller wavelength or higher frequencies. The hot appears red color.

The total energy emitted of a hot solid object is directly proportional to the fourth power of the temperature of the black body.

For example, when we switch on the light bulb, initially the radiation of the bulb appears dimmer. Then, it will become brighter. Then, it will turn yellow and then it becomes even white.

The color of the light emitted by a hot solid object depends on the temperature of the object.

Therefore, the correct option is (A).
