Objects are perceived as white, black, or a specific color because of the way they reflect and absorb light. Different colors are created when objects absorb certain wavelengths of light and reflect others, which our eyes then interpret as specific colors.

How can the mass of a black hole can be measured?

The mass of a black hole can be measured by observing the orbits of objects around it, such as stars or gas clouds. By studying the gravitational effects of the black hole on these objects, astronomers can calculate its mass. Another method is to measure the distortion of light from objects behind the black hole, known as gravitational lensing, which can provide information about the black hole's mass.


How can you see black objects if they do not reflect any light?
