Can the temperature of an object be derived from the EM Waves it emits?
I know that everything having a temperature over absolute zero emits thermal radiations. The hotter the object gets, the higher the frequency of the wave goes.
But for example if I have a hammer which emits a wave xHz, will I be able to calculate it's temperature by merely studying the waves emitted? (something to do with energy?)
Please help I feel clueless.
