An object appears black because it absorbs all the colors of the visible spectrum. If we idealize the object to make it perfectly absorptive, it absorbs all of the white light that strikes it and reflects none. In the real world, some light is always reflected. If the object appears black or dark gray, then it reflects small amounts of all colors of the spectrum.

What happens when light falls on opaque objects?

"Black" means "no light". That's why a dark room looks black at niight.If an object really looks black, then you know that it must have absorbed any lightthat hit it, because there's none left to bounce from the object into your eyes.

Why does a black object appear black in any light?

Because it absorbs all visible light. Visible white light can be divided into 7 colours (the rainbow). Every object appears as the colour they are because they reflect that colour from the rainbow spectrum or a mixture of them and then absorb the rest of the light rays. Black things do not reflect any light and so appear black. This is also why black this tend to become warm or hot when it is sunny. They transfer all the light energy they absorb into thermal energy.Because it absorbs all visible lightBecause they absorb all colors.


Why the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection?

Because light alway bounces of an object at the same angle that it hit the object


What happens when the sun's rays hit the Earth's surface?

Radiant energy will either be reflected or absorbed by a surface. The usual rule regarding this reflection depends on the color of the object and the color of the light. For example, a red object only reflects red light, and absorbs the rest. A blue object only reflects blue light, and absorbs the rest. This goes for all of the colors. When radiant energy is absorbed, the object will heat up. Hope this helps!
