gollark: > If you make the temperature higher, then the frequency increases. No, you keep ignoring me on this.> Thus meaning the amount of photons emited is related/proportional to the temperature increasing.Also no, the amount is a different thing.
gollark: Also wrong, objects emit multiple frequencies at once and the relationship is more complex than that.
gollark: The energy is a property of the photon similarly to frequency and stuff, the energy doesn't have frequency either, but can I just say that trying to brute-force your way to coherent-sounding wording is not a path to great understanding.
gollark: Why does the energy have a wavelength now?
gollark: It isn't a wording problem.
