Dark objects do not reflect light. Light is absorbed by them.

How do transparent translucent and opaque objects affect light?

transparent and translucent objects are the objects that let the light pass through them eg glass, but sometimes translucent objects are colorful so they change the color of the light as it passes through them opaque objects can either absorb the light, like dark material, or reflect, like a mirror.


When light is absorbed does it get attracted to dark objects?

No, light is not attracted to dark objects. When light is absorbed by an object, it is converted into other forms of energy (such as heat) or used in various processes depending on the material. Dark objects appear dark because they absorb more light and reflect less compared to lighter objects.


How do dark objects differ from light ones when it comes to absorption of radiation?

Dark objects absorb more radiation than light objects because they reflect less light. The photons from the radiation are absorbed by the dark object, increasing its temperature. Light objects reflect more radiation, which is why they tend to stay cooler in the sun compared to dark objects.


When light hits a dark object then light is absorbed?

Yes, dark objects absorb more light than they reflect. This is because dark objects have pigments or materials that absorb most of the light that strikes them, which is why they appear dark to our eyes. The absorbed light is converted into heat energy.


Can you see light in the dark?

Yes, light can be seen in the dark. When there is light present, it illuminates the surroundings and allows us to see objects.

Why cant you see any objects in a dark room?

You can't see objects in a dark room because there is not enough light for your eyes to detect the details and colors of the objects. Your eyes need light to reflect off the objects and enter your eyes for you to see them clearly.

Could dark objects reflect light?

Yes. There is hardly anything that reflects NO light; dark objects simply reflect less light than light objects.

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.


Do light objects make your cookies dark or light?

both.


Why do you think dark colored objects appear dark when light hits them?

dark object absorb more light than light colors


Why do luminous object glow in the dark only?

Luminous objects emit light through a process called luminescence, where they convert energy into light. This light emission is what makes them glow in the dark. Non-luminous objects do not have this capability, so they do not glow in the dark.

How would red and green colour objects look like when viewed through Green light?

Green objects would appear green and red objects would appear very dark.
