Question 17

At a camp site there are tents of two shades - one made with black fabric and the other with white fabric. Which one will you prefer for resting on a hot summer afternoon? Give reason for your choice. Would you like to prefer the same tent during winter?

Answer 1

(i) On a hot summer afternoon the tent made up of white fabric will be preferred as white colour is a bad absorber and good reflector of heat.
(ii) No, in case of winter, we should use a black fabric tent as it absorbs all colours of light from the sun and keeps us warm inside the tent.
