A matte black surface will absorb light the most because its rough texture scatters light in many different directions, increasing the chances of light being absorbed. Smooth and reflective surfaces, like a mirror, will reflect more light rather than absorbing it.

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.


Which type of land surface will most likely absorb the greatest amount of incoming solar radiation?

A dark, rough surface such as asphalt or forest will absorb the greatest amount of incoming solar radiation, as they have low albedo (reflectivity) and a large surface area for absorption.


Light waves bounce off the surfaces of most objects?

Does a stick absorb water?

Yes, most certainly it does. A stick is wood and is made of a fibrous material which can absorb water. In fact it can become so saturated with water that it will not float.


How does the type of surface affect heating by radiation?

Dark matt surfaces absorb radiated heat much more easily than light-coloured shiny surfaces.


Which type of material reflect or absorbs any light that strikes it?

That depends on the material, its colour and the light. If you hit something red with red light it almost reflects everything, if you hit it with blue light, it gets almost completly absorbed.


What type of light does earth's surface give off?

Earth's surface don't give any light. It reflects the light from its surface.


Does a book absorb or reflect light?

A book typically reflects light due to its glossy or matte surface, depending on the type of paper and finish used. The reflective properties of the surface determine how much light is bounced off the book.
