When a molecule absorbs visible or ultraviolet radiation, electrons in their ground state are promoted to higher states. Through various types of decay, the electrons fall back to their ground states. During this process, some infrared radiation is emitted, which is felt as heat. Black materials emit more infrared radiation because most of the decay of electrons from excited states to ground states involves infrared radiation emission.
What else can I help you with?
Does black hold more heat?
As opposed to what? Blue? I assume that you mean a black surface. A black surface will generally absorb more light than will a lighter colored surface. That's why you see it as black. In sunshine, it will heat up more than will a lighter colored surface because it is not reflecting as much light. Will it hold it? Beats me. What's it made of? All I know is that it's black.
Do black shingles hold in more heat in the attic than other colors?
Yes, black shingles can absorb more heat than lighter-colored shingles, which can lead to higher attic temperatures. This increased heat absorption can result in higher energy costs for cooling and potentially cause damage to the roof if not properly ventilated. Consider using lighter-colored shingles or ensuring proper attic ventilation to help mitigate heat buildup.
What color keeps heat away black or white?
White color reflects most of the heat, while black color absorbs heat, making white color more effective in keeping heat away.
What is a better heat absorber black or silver?
Black is a better heat absorber than silver because black surfaces absorb more sunlight and heat compared to silver surfaces, which reflect more of the sunlight. This means that black surfaces will heat up faster and retain heat for longer periods of time than silver surfaces.
Which absorbs heat white or black?
Black absorbs heat more effectively than white. White surfaces reflect most of the sunlight and heat, while black surfaces absorb more of it, leading to a higher temperature.
what colors hold in the most heat?
Black, the darker the color the more heat it absorbs. Lighter colors reflect heat better.

Which house contains more heat a black house or a White House?
A black house would hold more heat because once the heat gets inside it will stay there longer. On the other hand, the white house would be more likely to refract some of the light so it wouldn't be as hot.
Which materials and colors heat the fastest in the sun?
Dark colored (esp black), since they "hold" more sunlight than lighter colors.
Is it better to wear white or black on a hot summer day?
It's better to wear white outside on a hot summer day because it doesn't hold as much heat as if you wear black.
When was Black Heat - album - created?
Black Heat - album - was created in 1972.
Why black color absorb most heat energy?
Because black has almost no ability to reflect heat. White reflects heat very well, black hardly at all, so the heat builds up in black.
What does the specific heat of a substance?
The ability of a substance to hold heat.
What will happen to the liquid of the thermometer of you hold the bulb between your thumb and your first finger?
It will implode and create a black hole. not really, it'll just measure the heat..
How do you get a black milkshake to hold in poptropica?
you cant get a black milkshake to HOLD but you can get one to drink. it would just make your hair black.
What does the specific heat of substance represent?
The ability of a substance to hold heat.
