When light ray strikes a black object (it does not matter if it is cloth or solid) some of the light is 'absorbed' and some of it is reflected back to the normal of the surface (pependicular). Reflected light continues its path and absorbed light is transormed usually into heat. For example if you leave black and white objects in the desert they will heat but the black one will reach higher temperature. In physics there is an idealistic object called 'perfect black body' and the light which hits it is not reflected but absorbed. This means ALL of the incoming light is transformed into heat and the scientist use this imaginary object to calculate the emission of this body. This is called 'heat emission of a perfect black body'.
What else can I help you with?
What happens when the white light strikes a black object?
When white light strikes a black object, the object absorbs most of the light and reflects very little, which is why the object appears black. This is because black objects absorb most of the light across the visible spectrum.
When light strikes a black object what enery is it changed to?
When light strikes a black object, the energy is primarily absorbed and converted into heat energy. Black objects appear black because they absorb most of the light that hits them, which increases their temperature due to the absorbed energy being converted into heat.
What happens when light strikes a black object?
the black object absorbs most of the light. Theoretically nothing can be truly black because if it were truly black, we could not see it.
What happens when light stikes a black object?
When light strikes a black object, the object absorbs most of the light and reflects very little. This absorption of light is what gives black objects their characteristic dark appearance.
What color is a green object if red light strikes it?
The green object will appear black because red light is absorbed by green objects.
How would a blue object look in magenta lights?
A blue object would appear dark or almost black in magenta lights because magenta does not contain any blue light to reflect off the object, causing it to absorb most of the light.
When white light strikes an black object?
The black object absorbs most of the light energy and converts it into heat, which is why black objects feel warmer in sunlight. The object also reflects some light, but because it absorbs most of the light across all visible wavelengths, it appears black to our eyes.
A black solution or object such as black paper?
A black object appears black because it absorbs most of the light that strikes it, reflecting very little back to our eyes. Black paper is made with black pigments that absorb the majority of light wavelengths, giving it its black appearance.
What happens to light when you see black?
When you see black, it means that very little light is being reflected off the object. The light that strikes the object is absorbed, rather than reflected back to your eyes, resulting in the perception of darkness or black.
Do black color reflect any color?
A true black will not reflect any light of any colour.
A material that reflects or absorbs all of the light that strikes it is?
A material that reflects or absorbs any light that strikes it is opaque.Tranlucent or transparent materials allow some or all light to pass through.
Where does uv radiation happen?
The sun, arc welding, "black lights" (looking fro fluorescence). [inside florescent lights - but its blocked by the surface of the bulbs.)
