According to the Stefan - Boltzmann law and Wien's displacement law, a hotter star emits more radiation per unit area at all wavelengths (Stefan - Boltzmann law), radiates energy at multiple wavelengths and has a continuous spectrum, and also has a higher average frequency of radiation (Wien's displacement law as higher temperature corresponds to shorter wavelength and higher frequency).
