according to the laws of thermal radiation, hotter objects emit photons with
lower average energy
higher average masses
higher average speeds
lower average frequencies
shorter average wavelengths
According to Wien's displacement law and the relationship between photon energy, frequency, and wavelength ($E = h
u=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$, where $E$ is energy, $h$ is Planck's constant, $
u$ is frequency, $c$ is the speed of light, and $\lambda$ is wavelength), hotter objects emit radiation with a higher - frequency (shorter - wavelength) peak. Photons have no mass and all photons travel at the speed of light in a vacuum. Higher - temperature objects emit photons with higher average energy.
