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

then it absorbs everything and reflects nothing.

Will the colour silver absorb or reflect heat?

Silver is a highly reflective material, so it will mostly reflect heat rather than absorb it. This property makes silver a good choice for applications where heat reflection is important, such as in window films or reflective coatings.


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.


Why do opaque objects have color?

Opaque objects have color because they reflect and absorb certain wavelengths of light. The color we perceive is the result of the specific wavelengths being reflected back into our eyes. Materials absorb some wavelengths and reflect others, giving them their distinct color.


How does the colour of a material affect heat radiation?

The color of a material affects heat radiation by influencing the material's ability to absorb and reflect heat. Darker colors absorb more heat because they absorb a wider range of wavelengths, while lighter colors reflect more heat because they absorb less energy from the sunlight. Ultimately, the color of a material impacts its temperature and how it interacts with its environment.

Does red reflect or absorb sunlight?

Type your answer here... Darker reds absorb sunlight were lighter reds reflect.


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.

Which colors are reflected from blue?

Blue objects reflect blue light and absorb other colors.


What coulor is the planet jupter?

A planet's colour is based on what they are made of and how their surface reflect and absorb sunlight. Thus, Jupiter has shades of white, orange, brown and red.


Why coloured light produce colour by addition and pigment produce by subtraction?

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