Light and the Electromagnetic Spectrum

What is the effect of an object's temperature on the color of light it emits?

• Higher temperature results in longer wavelengths, turning the color more red.

• Higher temperature results in shorter wavelengths, turning the color more blue.

• Temperature has no effect on color
