Does a computer reflect and absorb light?
Yes, or it would be invisible. The material is like everything else.
Does gray absorb more light then white?
Yes it does. Black absorbs the most light. That is why in a car, for example, black seats are hotter than white or tan. Also the material matters as well. Rougher surfaces absorb more heat than smoother surfaces. That is also why leather seats absorb more light, or heat, and feel hotter than other material seats.
Why does black absrorb light and white reflect light?
Black, white, or any color are the result of the absorptive properties of the surface or material that appears that way to your eyes. It depends on the wavelengths of light that the material, fabric, dyes, or paint does and doesn't absorb.
What is material that doesn't allow light to pass through?
My guess would be a wall. But, I'm not a Scientist. Hope this helped. I think the correct answer is OPAQUE. An opaque surface will reflect some of the light and absorb the rest, a reflective surface will absorb some of the light and reflect the rest, either will prevent light from passing through. A black hole will absorb all light and reflect nothing, this also prevents light passing through.
What an object is made of and the color of light that strikes it determines the what?
The material an object is made of and the color of light it reflects can determine how hot an object gets when it is left out in the sun. Color and material both affect the amount of heat an object will absorb.
Does pair of eyeglasses absorbs light?
The lenses absorb a very small amount of light, transmitting most of it. If the frame of the glasses is made of a dark material, it will absorb most light.
What kind of material you need to change sun light to electric?
black material to absorb the light energy and then more steps follow until electricity is produced.

Is glow in the dark material fluorescent?
They are sort of related; however, glow in the dark materials are actually referred to as phosphorescent. The whole idea behind photoluminescence is that a material absorbs radiation (light) and then re-emits it. Phosphorescent materials absorb light, but release it at a much slower rate. Therefore, they absorb light when they are exposed to it, and then continue releasing it after the light source is removed. Fluorescence, on the other hand, is a material that that absorbs ultraviolet radiation (such as light from a black light) and then releases visible light.
What is a material that reflects or absorb all of the light that strikes it?
No material reflects all light. Silver is pretty close, which is why it is used for mirrors. As far as absorbing, porous black materials do the best job.
What is the shining material of wrist watch that shine in dark?
its radium...... actually it just absorb light when placed in sunlight or light of torch etc. and emits light when in dark..........
Whats light transmission?
Light transmission is the ability of light to travel through a medium without being scattered or absorbed. When the light reaches a surface of material, this can absorb the entire portions of the light.
Does black absorb the most sunlight?
Yes, black material absorb the most light. That's why you can't see much in a dark room; there isn't any light in a dark room, so everything appears black.
What are some ways in which materials affect how light is transmitted?
How much light a material absorbs or lets through depends mainly on what kind of material it is. Usually pure substances will not absorb light but rather lets light through or reflects light. Exceptions include carbon, uranium and others. The exact theory goes into detail in how electrons absorb that energy and move to a higher orbital but generally, a material will let light through if the electrons require excessive energy to jump to a higher orbital.
Would material absorb more heat?
If there was more heat to absorb than was already in the material.
