Why do black surfaces absorb majority of the Infrared radiation incident on it, why not white surfaces?
In: Physics
Any energy falling on a object coming back is a combination of 3 stuff namely Absorbance + reflectance + emmitance .. I’ve read it long back in high school 😅 . So black has high absorbance while white has more reflectance ! Since both visual light and infrared are forms of energy this applies to both universally .
