What surfaces are good absorbers of infrared radiation?

Surfaces that are dark, rough, and opaque are good absorbers of infrared radiation. Materials like asphalt, concrete, and vegetation are examples of surfaces that absorb infrared radiation effectively.


Which materials are good absorbers?

Materials that are dark, rough, and thick tend to be good absorbers of heat, such as black metal or asphalt. In terms of sound, soft and porous materials like foam, carpet, or curtains are good absorbers.


What surfaces absorb light?

Surfaces that are dark, rough, or non-reflective tend to absorb light more effectively. Materials like black paint, charcoal, and asphalt are good examples of surfaces that absorb light.


What surfaces are good for absorbing infrared radiation?

Surfaces that are dark and rough tend to be good at absorbing infrared radiation. Materials like asphalt, rubber, and certain metals are known to absorb infrared radiation effectively due to their ability to trap and convert the radiation into heat energy.


What is a good color for absorbing heat?

Objects can reflect, refract, and/ or absorb light. white objects absorb very little light, so most of the light is reflected, thus giving the white object it's "whiteness." Inversely, dark objects absorb most of the light and very little is reflected. This is why black objects are great at absorbing light energy, which in turn is transferred to heat energy. So, the answer is black. Having said that, just because something absorbs (and hence doesn't reflect) *visible* light doesn't in any way imply that the object will be good at absorbing radiation at other non-visible wavelengths. Lampblack is a very good absorber (and hence emitter) across a very wide range of wavelengths.

What objects do reflect light well?

reflect light well-normally shinysmooth pale colour objects: mirror, glass, shiny metal, tin foil...these objects favour a good image due to the reflection of light is regular do not reflect light well-usually rough, matt , dark colured objects: tree trunk, car wheel, dark carboard, brick, stone, dark opaque plastic... These objects diffuse the picture or do not giva a picture at all because reflected light is irregular.

What features are good for longboards for rough roads?

If you are talking about comfortability, a good longboard for rough roads will generally have a good amount of flex to dampen vibrations, some big, soft wheels to absorb shock as well, and some shockpads in between the deck and trucks to absorb more vibration. This type of board will not be great for downhill but that is mostly about skill.


What is an object that can describe science?

We generally get our descriptions from people, not from objects. Although if you count books, then that would be a good kind of object in which to find a description.

Are there any good dark dragons out there?

Yes, there could be good dark dragons. "Dark" does not at any point simply "evil" or "not good". Since they have no correlation, there can be good dark dragons. (Case in point).
