Best Answer

Objects appear white when they reflect all wavelengths of visible light. Reflection of various wavelengths of light means that they are scattering the light back into the space surrounding the object, rather than absorbing that energy.
Objects appear black when they absorb all wavelengths of visible light, thus absorbing that energy (some of which is converted to heat).
