Light "refraction" is the bending of light as it passes through a transmitting medium, Refraction has nothing to do with black objects.

A black object reflects no parts of the visible part of the spectrum, it absorbs them all. A white object reflects all parts of the visible spectrum. A red object reflects the red part of the spectrum, absorbing the rest.

Why do black objects appear black in white light?

Black objects absorb most of the visible light that strikes them, reflecting very little light back to our eyes. In white light, which contains all the colors of the spectrum, black objects absorb all colors equally, appearing black to our eyes.


What is the relationship between a black hole and a rainbow?

Black holes and rainbows are both phenomena related to light and gravity, but they are very different. Black holes are extremely dense objects with strong gravitational pull that can trap light, while rainbows are caused by the refraction and reflection of light in water droplets. In short, the relationship between a black hole and a rainbow is that they both involve light and gravity, but they are fundamentally distinct in nature.


Why do black objects get hotter than white object?

Black objects absorb all wavelengths of light, while white objects reflect all wavelengths of light. This means that black objects absorb more light and convert it into heat, making them hotter than white objects which reflect more light and absorb less heat.


Why do black objects are seen black?

The "color" black is not really a color. Black is the absence of light. Black objects have pigments that absorb all light and, therefore, none is reflected for us to be able to see.


Why is solar energy attracted to black objects?

Solar energy is not attracted to black objects. Black objects just absorb light rather than reflect it.


Why do black objects get hotter?

Black objects absorb more light energy compared to lighter colored objects, which leads to an increase in their temperature as they absorb more energy. This is because black objects absorb a wider range of light wavelengths across the spectrum, converting more light into heat energy.


What happens when heat goes through black objects?

For a black objects or black body, the light is absorb to the black body not going through. The absorbed light is transformed to thermal energy inside the object.


Why does black not reflect light?

Black objects do not reflect light because they absorb most of the light that strikes them, rather than reflecting it back. The absorption of light by black objects is a result of their molecular structure, which allows them to retain more light energy than they release. This lack of reflection gives black objects their characteristic dark appearance.


Objects that absorb all light are what color?

Objects that absorb all light appear black because they do not reflect any light back into our eyes, making them appear void of color.


What absorbes light?

black paint.


Does black hole have the highest refractive index?

No. A black hole does not have a refractive index. The bending of light around a black hole is due to gravity, which is entirely different from refraction.


Where does the color black come from if none of the colors of the rainbow are black?

The color black is created by the absence or absorption of light in an object. When light is not reflected off an object, our eyes perceive it as black. This is different from the colors of the rainbow, which are created by the reflection and refraction of light.
