1. a. As the object emits heat energy, it is absorbed by the surrounding at To. Because of this process of heat exchange, the object temperature decreases and tends towards To (== Qo + 273: Qo in degree C and To in K).

The heat energy emitted by the object, depends on it's instantaneous temperature Tb. Because, of surrounding temperature To, surrounding also gives some heat energy to the object. As Tb > To, in net, the object temperature decreases.

The heat energy emitted by the object is based on Stefan's law, dH = s*T^4 * A*dt

Where, s: Stefan's constant, A: surface ares through which heat energy accepted or emitted, dt: time ...
