This question is about absorbing of heat or you can say albedo.
I have this two shirts.
One is BLACK and the other one is WHITE.
i put same amount of light on both shirts to heat them up.
it seems that black shirt is hot.
I can find the temperature using the thermometer..
but guys can you find a sophisticated way to find temeperature without using the thermometer.

Hi. Pyrometer. Or Infrared Non-Contact Thermometer. Or thermal scanner as used to measure the heat loss of a building.

There are many sophisticated ways to prove that the black shirt is hotter than the white one... For instance, you can add the same amount of a low temperature boiling solvent to both shirts (for example acetone) and weight the loose of mass by evaporation. It's a little bit expensive and time consuming... I would rather use a thermometer!

The question is not well-posed. The temperature of WHAT? The black shirt?
