According to Blackbody radiation, the darker the object the more light it will absorb. A perfect example is a radiometer, in a light bulb container, there is a thin pin pointing upwards in the middle of the bulb. Then, a little tube with the pin through it has four surfaces. Each surface has a white side and a dark side. If you put something that radiates heat, then it will spin. Since, one side absorb more radiation then the other side, on side is more denser. As a result, it spins.

∙ 14y agoWhen light hits a dark object it will eventually turn into heat and the object will turn warm.

When light hits a dark object then light is absorbed?
When an object absorbs the light that hits it, the object appears dark.
What happens when light energy hits an object?
The light gets reflected from the object and into your eyes so you can see
What happens to get a black object?
When all light that hits an object is absorbed by it the object appears black. Similarly we see a wight object when all light that hits the object gets reflected off it!!!!!
What happens when light hits an object that it cannot pass through?
The light reflected and/or absorbed
What happens when heat hits a solid?
The same with when a light hits a solid; the energy either gets reflected or absorbed. If light hits a dark colored solid, most of the light will be absorbed, and the black object will get warm.If light hits a light-colored solid, most of the light will be reflected, and the white object will stay cool.By the way, the same thing happens to both heat and light, because heat is a form of light; heat is also called infrared light.Further answerIt does depend somewhat on what form this heat is in. If it's radiation then the answer above is fine. But if it's in the form of say, hot air, then there won't be any reflection, just conduction of the heat from the air to the solid.

Why do you think dark colored objects appear dark when light hits them?
dark object absorb more light than light colors

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.
What is it called when light hits a surface that it cannot pass through?
There is no scientific term for what happens when light hits an opaque object I'm afraid to say.

What happens to light when it hits a coloured object?
It can be either reflected or absorbed. E.g. if the object is green, all the colours of light are absorbed except green. Green is reflected and not absorbed.
What happens when light hits a coloured object?
it might be reflect or absorb when it hits green color all clores absorbs but green refleccts
What 3 things make a shadows?
A shadow is formed when an object blocks light, creating a dark area behind it. Three factors that determine the size and shape of a shadow are the angle at which the light hits the object, the size of the light source, and the distance between the object and the light source.
