To identify minerals
Each material chemical makeup are a variety of chemical compounds which has each own category. They have different functional groups which helps people identify which material they look for. For instance, hydroxyl group has chemical makeup of alcohol
This question asks to compare the energy emitted by a piece of iron at T = 603K with the energy emitted by the same piece at T = 298K.
Then you need to use the Stefan–Boltzmann Law
That law states that energy emitted (E) is proportional to fourth power of the to the absolute temperature (T), this is E α T^4 (the sign α is used to express proportionallity.
Then E (603) / E (298) = [603K / 298K]^4 = 16,8
Which meand that the Energy emitted at 603 K is 16,8 times the energy emitted at 298K.
