Characteristics of Black and Colored Objects.

1. Objects that are black or dark colors absorb light wavelengths and appear that color because they reflect none of the light. White and light objects reflect more light and appear that color. 2. The observable color of an object depends on which light wavelengths it reflects. A red apple appears red because its structure reflects red wavelengths from white light more than other colors. 3. A black shirt absorbs all the wavelengths in white light and converts the energy to heat. It reflects none of the light hitting it back to our eyes, so it appears black.

Characteristics Of Black And Colored Objects

Objects that are black or other dark


colors are more absorbent and white
and light objects are more reflective.
A black object, like a t-shirt, looks
black because it absorbs all the
wavelengths in white light and
reflects none. As the shirt absorbs all
the light coming from sun and, say, a
desk lamp, the energy carried by that
light doesn't just disappear into the
shirt, never to be seen again. Instead, as
the light is absorbed, it gets converted to
other forms of energy, usually heat, and
then emitted by the shirt. The darker
the object, the better it emits heat,
because it’s a better absorber of light.
The observable color of an object
has to do with the light wavelengths
that are reflected from that object.
This reflection, in turn, depends the
atomic and molecular properties of
the object, its surface structure and
the angles at which the light hits it
and at which someone observes it,
among other things.
An apple is red because when
white light, which is made up of
all visible wavelengths mixed
together, hits it, its atomic
innards reflect all the red
wavelengths more than the
other colors and bounce them at
our eyes.
Fill in the blanks with the correct words that will
complete the thought of the paragraph.
A ____ object looks black because it _____
all the wavelengths in white and reflects
_____. The observable color of an object
has to do with the light ______ that are
reflected from that object. A leaf is green
because when white light hits it, its atomic
innards reflect all the _____ wavelengths
more than the other colors and bounce
them at our eyes.
Answers: (black – absorbs – none
–wavelengths – green)
