Why do light colored objects feel cooler than dark colored objects?
Because dark colours absorbs light/heat, while light colours reflect light/heat.
What are some objects that produce light and heat?
Stars.
Why do some objects get hot easily when place under the sun?
Darker colors absorb light more efficiently, converting it to heat.
What charasteristic of light energy causes people to be able to see objects?
Heat
Why does refraction cause firemen problems?
The heat bends the light, causing objects to look distorted, and therefore the fireman's pathway. Just like the light above a radiator is distorted by its heat because light travels slower in heat.
What happens to silver objects with heat and light?
silver absorbs heat just like black objects.
Why do light colored objects feel cooler than dark colored objects?
Because dark colours absorbs light/heat, while light colours reflect light/heat.
Why do dark colors heat up more than light colors?
They have a lower "albedo" if you will. Light objects reflect light at a greater rate than dark objects which absorb it. This is why dark objects heat up more than light ones.
What are some objects that produce light and heat?
Stars.
Do black objects absorb heat?
They absorb light which is converted into heat energy
Doese light conduct heat?
Yes light conducts heat. As light moves, it transfer kinetic energy to and from objects in which it produces heat as it transfers energy.
What happens to white objects when heat and light energy is transferred to it?
White objects reflect heat and light energy. For example if you live in a white house, the heat and light energy bounces off the surface of the house so you would feel cool.
Why do objects get hot when light shines on them?
it does because the heat on the light causes the object under it warm
What object in the solar system gives off its own heat and light?
The sun. All other objects reflect heat and light from the sun.
Do dark rocks absorb more heat than light rocks?
Dark rocks will absorb more radiant heat than light rocks, for the same reason that any dark object absorbs more heat than an equivalent light object. Light objects appear "light" to us because they reflect more light than objects which appear dark. Dark objects appear dark because they absorb more light and reflect less. However, dark objects will radiate more heat that light objects. Actually, dark rocks do NOT absorb more radiant heat than light rocks. Nor do they radiate more heat than light rocks. Dark rocks DO absorb more LIGHT than light rocks and they then radiate this light at heat. Light rocks reflect the light rather than absorb it and therefore do not radiate as much heat. If you put a light rock and a dark rock next to a HEAT source, the amount of heat absorbed will be related to the makeup of the material rather than to the color.
How does light affect snakes?
They need the radiant heat of the sun to enliven them, and light or lack of it tells them when to sleep.
Why do some objects get hot easily when place under the sun?
Darker colors absorb light more efficiently, converting it to heat.
