Darker colors are better absorbers of light which makes them better radiators of heats. Object absorb light which is transferred to heat energy.

What color absorb the most heat and why?
The colour Black absorbs the most heat. Black is not a colour in the visible spectrum but is instead the colour you perceive where there is no light. Since no light is reflected, it is all being absorbed, therefore resulting in heating.
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 will happen when light strikes a opaque object?
The light is absorbed and changed to tiny amount of heat.
What is black principle?
The amount of heat released by the substance with higher temperature is equal to the amount of heat absorbed by the substance with lower temperature. The statement is often called "THE BLACK's PRINCIPLE".
What does not affect the amount of heat a body can store?
altitude
Is the amount of heat raditation absorbed by a surface depends only on its colour?
No !
Does the amount if heat radiation absorbed by a surface depend only on its colour?
no
What influences the amount of heat absorbed or released by the air?
the amount of heat absorbed and released by earth are influenced by the green house effect .
What is the heat capacity of dark colors vs light colors?
The darkness or lightness by itself doesn't affect the heat capacity, only how easily radiation will be absorbed - and emitted.The darkness or lightness by itself doesn't affect the heat capacity, only how easily radiation will be absorbed - and emitted.The darkness or lightness by itself doesn't affect the heat capacity, only how easily radiation will be absorbed - and emitted.The darkness or lightness by itself doesn't affect the heat capacity, only how easily radiation will be absorbed - and emitted.
If heat is produced by a chemical system?
An equal amount of heat will be absorbed by the surroundings.
If heat is released by chemical systems an equal amount of heat will be?
absorbed by the surroundings
When carbon disulfide is formed from its elements heat is absorbed Calculate the amount of heat in kJ absorbed when 5.66g of carbon disulfied is formed?
24
Explain how the specific heat of a substance is determined?
specific heat is the amount of heat to be absorbed required to raise a substance 1 degree celsius. And by heat being absorbed, i mean energy, because specific heat is measured in joules
The heat of fusion for water is the amount of energy that must be absorbed for water to what?
Melt.
What color absorb the most heat and why?
The colour Black absorbs the most heat. Black is not a colour in the visible spectrum but is instead the colour you perceive where there is no light. Since no light is reflected, it is all being absorbed, therefore resulting in heating.
What is a latent heat energy levels?
Latent heat- the amount of heat required by a system/ substance to change phase. It's also heat absorbed or radiated during a change of phase at a constant temperature and pressure.
What is an insulated device used for measuring the amount of heat absorbed or released during a reaction?
An insulated device used for measuring the amount of heat absorbed or released during a reaction is called a calorimeter.
