Objects are coloured because they absorb certain frequencies and absorb others.

For example a green object has absorbed red light and what was left, the green light, and so on.

A white object reflects all the frequencies (colors), a black one absorbs all.

How are white holes made and what is their role in the universe?

White holes are theoretical objects that are the opposite of black holes. They are believed to be created as a result of the mathematical equations that describe black holes, but there is no observational evidence of their existence. In theory, white holes would expel matter and energy outward, in contrast to black holes which pull matter and energy inward. Their role in the universe, if they exist, is not well understood, but some scientists speculate that they could potentially be connected to the creation of new universes or play a role in the recycling of matter and energy.


What is a color between white and black?

Well that depends to some extend on how you think about it. All colors are between black and white. If you consider gray a color there are many shades of gray between black and white.


Why do objects appear the color they are in white light?

Because white light contains all the colours of the spectrum and objects of one colour absorb the other colours only reflecting back the colour that they are. This can be shown by the fact that Black reflects back none of the spectrum so no light is reflected back and so appears "black" whilst white reflects back all of the spectrum so it appears white.


When white light strikes an black object?

The black object absorbs most of the light energy and converts it into heat, which is why black objects feel warmer in sunlight. The object also reflects some light, but because it absorbs most of the light across all visible wavelengths, it appears black to our eyes.

Mirrors and other objects reflect light, though most objects absorb some wave lengths and reflect others and black absorbs all wavelengths and white reflects all wavelengths.


What absorbs more sun black or white?

Black, an absence of visible color, appears such because it absorbs the visible light spectrum when struck. White is the presence of the entire visible light spectrum, and as such absorbs very little light. This is why white objects do not heat as quickly as black objects when left in direct sunlight. Of course, the heat that is actually stored by any object is infrared, which is why even with a pure white surface, that surface still captures some heat.
