What type of materials absorb light?

Materials that absorb light well are typically dark or opaque, as they reflect less light back. Examples include black fabric, asphalt, and charcoal. Conversely, materials that are light or transparent, like glass or white paper, tend to reflect more light and absorb less.


Can white reflect black or does black absorb white?

White reflects light, including all colors, while black absorbs light, including all colors. This means that white does not reflect black, but rather all colors, and black absorbs light, even white light.


Do white clothes absorb less heat than black objects?

Yes, white clothes reflect more light and heat than black objects, which absorb light and heat. This means that white clothes will feel cooler to the touch than black objects under the same amount of sunlight.


Do materials with light and dark colors absorb heat?

Materials with dark colors like black absorb more heat from sunlight compared to materials with light colors like white. This is because darker colors absorb a wider range of wavelengths, converting more light into heat energy. Light-colored materials reflect more sunlight, reducing the amount of heat they absorb.

Does black melt faster than white?

Objects of different colors will absorb and reflect sunlight differently, which can affect how quickly they heat up. However, the color of an object does not directly impact how fast it will melt. Factors such as material composition, thickness, and temperature play a more significant role in determining melting rates.
