Why is the inside of an oven painted black and not white?
Black is the ideal absorber/emitter of electromagnetic radiation (e.g. infrared in the oven), helping the inside of the oven chamber more rapidly reach thermal equilibrium and a steady temperature.Many early ovens were white inside, but that was before the recognition that black is the ideal absorber/emitter.Note: the oven is not painted on the inside, as paint would be damaged at oven temperatures, instead it is enameled (whatever the color). Enamel is a fired glass/ceramic material that is applied like paint but then heated until it melts and fuses directly to the metal surface.
