HEAT ABSORBATION BY DIFFERENT COLOUR
It is a known fact that all objects gives off energy. At the same time, all objects takes in energy, too. The color of an object affects what colors of light the object gives off and what it absorbs. The color of an object relies on the wavelengths of colors reflected from the object. A red apple has a red color because the red wavelengths in white light are reflected and other wavelengths are absorbed. But if a red apple were to be illuminated by light that had no red wavelengths, the apple would appear almost black.

The reason material looks dark is it absorbs most of the light that hits it. On the other hand, a material that cannot absorb radiation will reflect it to your eyes, making the material look like the color of the light and giving it a lighter. It naturally follows then that if a surface absorbs most of the light hitting it, the surface heats up quickly. Black or dark colored materials and objects give off and absorb in heat the fastest. The reason for this is that lighter colors have a greater Albedo, which means, they reflect more light. Instead of thinking of dark colors as absorbers of heat, darker colors are actually better absorbers of light. Darker colors absorb comparatively more light. Since light is energy, an absorption would increase a materials temperature. Hence, darker colors become better radiators of heat.

It is important to note that an object appears white if it reflects all colors and black if it absorbs all colors. Naturally there are different degrees of color and therefore degrees of absorption. So, too, the type of material will affect its relative heating. An object with a dull black (non-reflective) finish will absorb the most energy and reflect the least. When a black object is illuminated by white light, all wavelengths are absorbed and none are reflected. As a result, the object
