What are the 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.
black object -it absorbs all the
wavelengths in white light and reflects
none.
The sun emits energy in the form of
electromagnetic waves.
*We see part of the electromagnetic wave
as light and we feel part of it as warmth.
*Absorb means to take in. Heat means to
become warm or hot.
* Black or colored objects absorb more
heat than white objects.
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.
black absorbs none
Wavelengths green
Write Fact if the statement if correct and Bluff if not.

__1. A black object looks black because it absorbs

all the wavelengths in white light.
__2. Colors are all equally heat absorbent.
__3. Color is a result of the wavelength of light
reflected by that object.
__4. A black fabric absorbs all colors of light.
__5. Lighter colors are more absorbent than darker
ones.
Write Fact if the statement if correct and Bluff if not.

F A black object looks black because it absorbs

__1.
all the wavelengths in white light.
B Colors are all equally heat absorbent.
__2.
F Color is a result of the wavelength of light
__3.
reflected by that object.
F A black fabric absorbs all colors of light.
__4.
__5. Lighter colors are more absorbent than darker
B
ones.
*The glass wrapped in black paper ended up with
hotter water than the glass with white paper. This
is because black absorbs more heat than white.
Black and white are on opposite ends of the color
spectrum.
* Wearing a white T-shirt rather than wearing a
black T-shirt on a hot day keeps you cooler. A white
T-shirt reflects more sunlight, so it absorbs less
heat.
Write AGREE if the statement is true and DISAGREE if false.

___1. A white car absorbs more heat than a

black car.
___2. Lighter colors reflect more of the sun’s
radiant energy.
___3. Darker colors absorb more sunlight than
lighter colors.
___4. A black T-shirt gets cooler than a colored
one.
___5. Water in a colored glass will have a lower
temperature.
