What an object is made of and the color of light that strikes it determines the what?
The material an object is made of and the color of light it reflects can determine how hot an object gets when it is left out in the sun. Color and material both affect the amount of heat an object will absorb.
What light waves does a blue object reflect?
The wavelengths are corresponded to the color of the light. A blue object will reflect any light radiation expect the color blue. It will absorb the blue light.
Why does the colour of something affect the amount of heat it gains?
Because the colour of something affect the amount of heat absorption by radiation. Black bodies absorb the most radiation while white bodies absorb the least radiation. (reflecting heat radiation)Answer 2:The color of an object depends on what color of light it reflects back. A red object absorbs all other colors and reflects red light to your eyes. White is all colors and black is no light. You've probably heard wearing black in the sun makes you very hot. This is because there is no light being reflected back, it's all absorbed. A white shirt is cooler because it reflects all light colors and absorbs much less. Now, what determines the color that is reflected is the atomic composition of the object. Different colors of light have different frequencies, and certain atoms and materials absorb only certain frequencies of electromagnetic radiation (light). So it's not really the color that determines the amount of heat absorbed, it is the composition of the material that determines both the colors of light that are absorbed and thus, how much energy is absorbed. The color is a secondary effect perceived by you, it really doesn't control the heat absorption, it's a result of the atomic structure of the material.
What happens to radiant heat when it falls on a body?
The way a body reacts to incident radiation depends upon the absorptive, reflectivity and transitivity. These are functions of the type of material and its color. For example black color metal would reflect more radiation than a black coloured plastic.
How can you see black color if it absorb all the color of light?
It doesn't absorb ALL of it just a little is reflected.
What is the five elements of design?

What are eight characteristics on which the amount of energy that is absorbed by earths surface depends?
Color, texture, composition, volume, mass, state of matter, transparency, and specific heat of the material on which the solar radiation falls.
Properties such as color and texture that can be observed without changing the makeup of the material?
physical
What happens when sunlight hits snow?
REFLECT because things that reflect are usually light in color and smooth in texture. things that absorb are dark in color and rough in texture and it cant be conduct becuase conduction is when heat is transfered from material to material when vibrating atoms collide.
What is the texture of the material at the end of the bone?
The material at the end of a bone is known as hyaline cartilage. It is white in color, smooth and shiny, and slick to touch.
Which characteristics would absorb the most insolation if a homeowner decides to install carpet in a room that receives the most sunlight?
The options for the question are:Smooth texture and light colorSmooth texture and dark colorRough texture and light colorRough texture and dark colorThe correct answer would be rough texture and dark color (4).

Why is sea in color blue?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Water absorb radiations with long wavelengths (red, orange, yellow, green) but not the blue radiation, the color that we see - this is the explanation. Other so-called religious or philosophical theories for this color are only nonsense.
Do darker colors absorb more microwaves?
"Color" is a way of describing how an object interacts with electromagnetic radiation in the visible region of the spectrum. This has no impact whatsoever on how it interacts with electromagnetic radiation in the microwave region of the spectrum. So, no, they don't.
Does the color of the balloon affect the energy of the balloon?
No, the texture and material would only not the color. the gas inside may too, if its too much or too little, but you might already know that :)
