Why BLACK colour absorbs Light?

Answer 1

Because that's its definition.

Answer 2

White light is made up of 7 colours, and any object absorbs some or all of these colours. For example, a cabbage absorbs all colours except green, which it reflects.
A black object absorbs all light.

Answer 3

Black color is a good absorber of heat and light since the black color prevents the radiation if light,thats the reason black colour absorbs the light.

Answer 4

Black colour absorbs light because it is a dark colour.

Answer 5

youre thinking about this backwards. It is black BECAUSE it has absorbed all the light and reflected none of it. The colour things are is a results of the properties that determine what parts of the light spectrum is absorbs and reflects.

Answer 6

White is opposite colour of black and it reflects light. So, Black does not reflect the light (or it absorbs light).

Answer 7

your ques'n must be "why black only is seen only' when all colours are absorbed?"
by the way, when any thing absorbs all light radiations it is absorbing all colors and no color is reflected by it so we see the dark space which we term as black.

Answer 8

black is not a colour. black is the result of lack of color. so that would mean then the object that apears black, is black 'because' it absorbed the light.

in the same, white is all of the light being reflected.

Answer 9

we can see any colour when it reflects the light of that particular wavelength falling over it i.e light of that colour which we are observing.for e.g we see grass as green becoz it reflects green colour from the spectrum of light . similarly, we see black as black bcoz it does not reflect any light but absorbs all the colors . so we do not see any color reflecting back ad therefore black appears black

Answer 10

Think of the sky as a spectrum, ya know one of them pretty cristals that makes a bunch colored lights when shine a flashlight thru it. white light is bein filtered by the cristal makin it shoot out all the diferent colors like red yella orange blues and stuff, which is why when they hit white agin it gets setn back sorta.. all colors is white seperated by a BIG filter the sky black is the absense a void of all hues and since its already like that its tryin to pick up a buncha colors but cant do it so its absorbed into it in a failed attempt

Answer 11

Black is dark so it absorbs light.
