Solution

The amount of heat radiated by an object depends on three factors.

  1. Temperature:- A higher temperature results in greater radiation.
  2. Colour:- Black or dark surfaces radiate more heat than white surfaces.
  3. The nature of the surface:- Dull and rough surfaces radiate more heat than shiny and smooth surfaces.
