What happens when silver nitrate exposed to light?

Silver nitrate is photosensitive, meaning it decomposes when exposed to light. This decomposition results in the formation of elemental silver and nitrogen dioxide gas. This reaction can be used to create photographic films and papers.


What is left after lightning strikes?

O3 - Ozone is left in the air in the vicinity of the strike. If the lightning strikes solid stone and other hard materials it can leave a black or white char mark. If it strikes sand it can produce glass.


How does the sky change as one gets above earths atmosphere?

As one gets above Earth's atmosphere, the sky transitions from a gradient of blue to black due to the scattering of sunlight by the atmosphere. Beyond the atmosphere, the sky appears completely black as there is no atmosphere to scatter sunlight, revealing the vast darkness of space.


Would snow covered soil or a beach covered in black sand heat up faster?

The snow-covered soil would likely heat up faster than a beach covered in black sand. This is because snow has a higher albedo (reflectivity) than black sand, which means it reflects more sunlight and absorbs less heat. In contrast, black sand absorbs more sunlight and retains heat, making it slower to warm up.


What is the colour of black soil?

Black soil is typically dark brown or black in color due to its high organic matter content. This dark color is a result of the presence of decomposed plant material and other organic matter that enriches the soil.

What is the material that reflects or absorbs all of light that strikes it?

No material reflects all light. Silver is pretty close, which is why it is used for mirrors. As far as absorbing, porous black materials do the best job.


A material that reflects or absorbs all of the light that strikes it is?

A material that reflects or absorbs any light that strikes it is opaque.Tranlucent or transparent materials allow some or all light to pass through.


Does black absorb or reflect sun?

Black absorbs sunlight. When sunlight hits a black surface, the color absorbs most of the light wavelengths, converting them into heat energy. This is why black objects tend to feel warmer when exposed to sunlight compared to lighter-colored objects, which reflect more sunlight.


Does black absorb all light that strikes it?

No, black absorbs most visible light that strikes it, which is why it appears dark. However, some light may be reflected or scattered depending on the surface texture and material properties.


What happens when light strikes a black object?

the black object absorbs most of the light. Theoretically nothing can be truly black because if it were truly black, we could not see it.


What happens when the white light strikes a black object?

When white light strikes a black object, the object absorbs most of the light and reflects very little, which is why the object appears black. This is because black objects absorb most of the light across the visible spectrum.


What do you called a material that reflects and absorb any light that strikes its surface?

A material that reflects and absorbs all light that strikes its surface is called a perfect absorber, or a blackbody. It absorbs all incident light and reflects none, resulting in a black appearance.

When sunlight strikes Earth approximately how much ref let back into space?

That varies from almost zero (black surfaces) to all of it (white & shiny surfaces).
