No, black surfaces are actually poor reflectors of infrared radiation. They absorb more infrared radiation compared to other colors, which is why black objects often feel warmer in sunlight. White surfaces are better reflectors of infrared radiation.

Which emits the most infra red radiation matte silver surface or shiny black surface?

Matte (dull) and black surfaces emit infrared radiation at a faster rate than shiny and white surfaces.


Which surface absorbs infra red radiation the best?

Dark, rough surfaces like asphalt or soil tend to absorb infrared radiation the best. These surfaces have higher emissivity, meaning they can efficiently absorb and emit infrared radiation compared to lighter or smoother surfaces.


Why are dark surface good absorver of inferate radiation?

Terms used are not apt. It is not dark, it is BLACK Not aborver but ABSORBER It is not inferate. It has to be INFRA RED Black itself means absence of radiations. So it has to be ready to accept anything falling on it. Hence the result


Where is infra red radiation emmited from?

Hot objects emit infra-red radiation. E.g. the human body.


Which radiation can be felt as heat?

Infra-red radiation.


Are shiny surfaces poor absorbers and poor emitters for infra-red radiation?

Shiny surfaces are poor absorbers of infrared radiation because they reflect rather than absorb it. However, they can still be good emitters of infrared radiation if they are close to being perfect blackbodies. The reflectivity of the surface plays a significant role in determining its emissivity for infrared radiation.


What material is best absorbed of infra-red radiation?

Is black a good conductor of heat?

Dark (especially black) surfaces absorb infra-red well. White and silver surfaces reflect radiation.so its a good absorber. However,conductivity depends on the metal being used.
