Question

why black colour can absorb white colour???

Answer 1

Do you mean why does black absorb heat and why white reflects it? I've never heard of what you had asked.

A black object absorbs all wavelengths of light and converts them into heat, so the object gets warm. A white object reflects all wavelengths of light, so the light is not converted into heat and the temperature of the object does not increase noticeably.

Indeed it is. Welcome to OpenStudy.

Answer 4

hmm the reasoning is kinda wrong with the cause and effect.

Objects are black BECAUSE the light they absorb all wavelengths (in the visible spectrum).

Cause: absorb all wavelengths of light

Effect: object is black

not the other way around, where the cause would be that the object is black and the effect is that it absorbs at all wavelengths.

Thanks for correcting me @aaronq

Answer 6

Yes, and white objects do not absorb any light in our the portion of the spectrum we can see. Some people do not consider white a color but an absence of color. And as for the heat, light is energy so absorbing it will absorb heat.
