Do dark rocks absorb more heat than light rocks?
Dark rocks will absorb more radiant heat than light rocks, for the same reason that any dark object absorbs more heat than an equivalent light object. Light objects appear "light" to us because they reflect more light than objects which appear dark. Dark objects appear dark because they absorb more light and reflect less. However, dark objects will radiate more heat that light objects. Actually, dark rocks do NOT absorb more radiant heat than light rocks. Nor do they radiate more heat than light rocks. Dark rocks DO absorb more LIGHT than light rocks and they then radiate this light at heat. Light rocks reflect the light rather than absorb it and therefore do not radiate as much heat. If you put a light rock and a dark rock next to a HEAT source, the amount of heat absorbed will be related to the makeup of the material rather than to the color.
Why cant light pass through dark objects?
Dark objects do not reflect light. Light is absorbed by them.
Why is it better to have a light coloured car in the summer than a dark one?
You must know that white (light colored object) absorbs the least amount of heat and dark colored objects absorb the most heat. Hence in summers, a light colored car will absorb less heat and keep the car cool while in winters, the dark cars will absorb more heat and keep the car warm.
How does the density of a light colored rock differ from the density of dark colored rock?
Normally, light colored igneous rocks are less dense compared to dark colored igneous rocks. This is because the light colored rocks have a less iron in them.
Do dark colored materials absorb less radiant energy than light-colored materials?
I would say that the dark-colored would absorb moreradiant energy than the light-colored materials because the light-colored reflects...
Why do dark colored shirts get hotter in the sun light colored shirts?
Dark-colored shirts reflect less radiation.
How does the density of a light colored igneous rock differ from that of a dark colored igneous rock?
Normally, light colored igneous rocks are less dense compared to dark colored igneous rocks. This is because the light colored rocks have a less iron in them.
Could dark objects reflect light?
Yes. There is hardly anything that reflects NO light; dark objects simply reflect less light than light objects.
