Question

Name some everyday objects:
(a) which reflect all the colours in sunlight
(b) which absorb all the colours in sunlight

Answer 1

a) White objects, such as white chalk, white paper, snow, milk, white pearls and white clothes, reflect all the colours of sunlight and therefore appear white in colour.

(b) Black objects, such as coal, blackboard, tar, ink, charcoal and black clothes, absorb all the colours of sunlight and therefore appear black in colour.
