Hi guys, I was reading through some Chemistry papers when I came across these two lines; When solids are heated, they emit electromagnetic radiation over a wide range of wavelengths. The amount of radiation energy emitted by an object at a certain temperature depends on its wavelength. However, I remember reading elsewhere that the radiant energy of an electromagnetic wave increases as its frequency increases. If this is true, then the two statements are my understanding is contradictory with the two lines. Am I misinterpretting the two lines from the Chemistry papers or is there something else I am not realising? Any help is much appreciated.
