"Black" means "no light". If something looks black to you,

then it absorbs everything and reflects nothing.

Why black colour absorb and radiate more heat?

The objects is black when no light reflect from it, hence, it absorb light very well. And at the same time, what can absorb light very well would radiate heat very well .


How do you know that most objects reflect more than on colour of light?

You can diffract the light reflect from the object and see what range of spectrum is absorbed and what is reflected. It is to mentioned, human had trichromatic vision. We base our vision of colour from the portion of red blue and green. The real colour in spectrum is however continue of colour from red to violet. By having only 1 colour of light reflect, the object had to specifically absorb exact the other 2 portion of light human can see which is extremely rare for natural objects without specific design to absorb light at exactly cover the other 2 spectrum human can see. So it is most objects would reflect more than one colour of light.


What is the difference between the way black and white surfaces affect light?

White surfaces reflect light and heat. Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.White surfaces reflect light and heat. Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.White surfaces reflect light and heat. Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.White surfaces reflect light and heat. Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.


Does a red light shone on a red surface reflect or absorb?

Reflect.


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.

How does a houses color effect its warmth?

A house colour effects its warmth because the colour black will absorb heat and therefore make your house hotter and white will reflect heat which makes colder than it would be.

Lights are coloured by the light they emit and are additive, while pigments are coloured by the light they absorb/reflect and are subtractive.
