Question

Wearing black clothes in summer is more preferable.
A) True.
B) False.

Answer 1

The ability of anybody to absorb or reflect heat is dependent upon the colour of the body. The colour black and colour white are the two colours which are considered as the most absorbing and reflect of all the colours.

Complete answer:
It is asked whether wearing clothes in summer is preferable or not. Some colours have ability to absorb the light falling on the colour and also some colours have ability that they can reflect almost all colours that are falling on it. Also if the objects are coloured then the objects also possess this same ability.

The colour white has the ability to reflect almost all the light that falls on it. The white colour is made up of combinations of all the colours and therefore it reflects all the light that falls on the colour white. If we want any object to be cool and it is in the sunlight all day then it is suggested that we need to paint that object with white colour so that all the sunlight is reflected and the object stays cool.

The black colour has the ability to absorb almost all the light that falls on it. If any object is also coloured with black colour then due to its property to absorb all the light the object becomes hot in very less time. So, it is not advised to wear black clothes in summer because it will cause extreme hotness in the summer season.

Hence, the given statement is false. So, the correct option is option B.

Note:
It important to remember that the white colour reflects all the light that fall on it and also if any object is painted with colour white then it will reflect most of the colour and object will be cool and the black colour is one which is absorbs all the light that falls on the colour and if the object is coloured with black colour then the object which is coloured black gets too much hot.
