It is the dark colors that absorb energy, not the other way round. Dark colors have a tendency to absorb more light, as well as electromagnetic waves with frequencies close to those of visible light.

What is the best colour for radiation absorption?

The best color for radiation absorption depends on the specific type of radiation. However, dark colors such as black are generally good at absorbing a wide range of radiation wavelengths. This is because dark colors absorb more light and energy compared to lighter colors.


Which type of surface will absorb the most heat energy?

A dark, rough surface will absorb the most heat energy because it absorbs more sunlight and the rough texture increases the surface area for absorption. Smooth, light-colored surfaces reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat energy.


What makes darker colors absorb more heat than lighter colors?

White light is a mixture of colors. When white light strikes a dark object little or no energy is reflected. When white light strikes a white object the energy is mostly reflected, not absorbed. Thus heat is absorbed by dark objects and reflected by light ones.


How does the type of surface of an object affect the way it radiates and absorbs heat energy?

The type of surface of an object affects how it radiates and absorbs heat energy by influencing its albedo, emissivity, and conductivity. Objects with darker colors absorb more heat because they have higher absorption rates (lower albedo), while objects with rough textures tend to have higher emissivity, allowing them to efficiently emit heat. Additionally, materials with high thermal conductivity transfer heat more easily, affecting how quickly they absorb or release thermal energy.


When energy is absorbed in process what type of reaction is it?

When energy is absorbed in a process, it is an endothermic reaction. This means that the process absorbs heat from its surroundings to proceed.
