What happens when light shines on a black object?
In that case, most of it will be absorbed.In that case, most of it will be absorbed.In that case, most of it will be absorbed.In that case, most of it will be 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.
What happens as white light hits black ink on a piece of white paper?
The light is absorbed by the black ink and reflected by the white paper surrounding the ink. That is why you can see the ink clearly.
What colors do you see when you look at an opaque object?
