wavelength temperature

Wavelength temperature relates to how the wavelength of radiation—like light or heat—depends on the temperature of an object. As an object gets hotter, it emits radiation with shorter wavelengths (shifting toward blue or ultraviolet). Conversely, cooler objects emit longer wavelengths (red or infrared). This concept helps us understand phenomena like blackbody radiation, where the color or intensity of emitted light indicates temperature. In essence, wavelength temperature provides a way to estimate an object’s temperature based on the characteristic wavelength of the radiation it emits.
