yes it does if the material is dark it will be warm if it is light it will be colder Yes, darker colors generally absorb AND RADIATE more heat from radiated. Meaning that if there is plenty of radiated heat available for example from the sun, dark clors will absorb more. If it's dark and cold out and the surface is hot, a dark surface will also RADIATE more heat than a lighter colored surface. It's called "black-body radiaton."

An absence of pigments yields White which efficiently reflects Photons of Light. A large concentration of pigments yields Dark which efficiently absorbs Photons of Light.
As far as release, or re-radiation, of Heat by Light or Dark surfaces - lets say Help!

∙ 9y agoThe darkest colors will absorb the most light. The more light that is absorbed the warmer a surface will be.

∙ 15y agoYes. The darker the color, the more heat it will absorb.

∙ 14y agoYes, by a great deal! White reflects heat much better then black. The lighter the color, the more likely it is to reflect heat.

How does color affect radiation and absorption?
light colors are lightss becos the reflect more profdoff PHD scientist
Describe how absorption and scattering can affect a beam of light?
How absorption and scattering can affect a beam of light is if the beam of light is farther away from an object, the light would be dimmer. But, if the beam of light was closer to the object, then the light would appear brighter.
What color is produced by the complete absorption of light rays?
Black
Does material affect heat light absorption?
Yes . Its because light gives off heat .
Who first discovered that color could affect heating by absorption of light?
I am going to say that man has probably known the a dark surface absorbs heat since the beginning of time. It is something that can be felt by the body and therefore, if a caveman were to be in the Sun with dark fur on, he would realize it. He may not have understood it but he would have felt it. As a scientific principle, it has always be that way.
Why can color affect heating by absorption of light?
the darker the color, the more attraction to sunlight so the object heats up faster
Do pigments affect the absorption of light in plants?
Yes they do affect the absorption of light in plants.

What is meant by the absorption spectrum of a pigment?
The absorption spectrum of pigment is the molecules response to light. The color of the pigment depends on the wavelengths of light the do not absorb.
What is the relationship between reflection absorption and color?
The color of an object is the frequency/wavelength of the light it reflects. The light it reflects is the light it receives minus the light it absorbs.
Does material affect heat light absorption?
Yes . Its because light gives off heat .
Does color of a mirror affect its reflection of light?
No, the color of a mirror does not affect it's reflection of light.
What minerals are used to make the color bright green?
Mineral color is caused by the absorption, or lack of absorption, of various wavelengths of light. The minerals that are used to make the color bright green are copper, nickel and barium.
