What is the difference between the way black and white surfaces affect light?
Black surfaces absorb most of the light that strikes them, reflecting very little. White surfaces reflect most of the light that strikes them, absorbing very little. This is why black surfaces appear darker and white surfaces appear brighter when illuminated.
Can white reflect black or does black absorb white?
White reflects light, including all colors, while black absorbs light, including all colors. This means that white does not reflect black, but rather all colors, and black absorbs light, even white light.
What colors will black reflect?
Black will absorb most colors and reflect very little light, if any. It will appear dark and devoid of color.
Why do black objects get hotter than white object?
Black objects absorb all wavelengths of light, while white objects reflect all wavelengths of light. This means that black objects absorb more light and convert it into heat, making them hotter than white objects which reflect more light and absorb less heat.
What kind of object that absorb light?
Black objects absorb light because they reflect very little light across the visible spectrum. Some examples include black clothing, black paint, and black plastic materials.
