As an object is heated up, it emits more thermal radiation because its atoms and molecules have higher kinetic energy, resulting in increased vibrations and collisions that release more electromagnetic waves. This leads to a shift in the emitted radiation towards shorter (higher energy) wavelengths, known as Wien's displacement law.
