Red does as it absorbs photons at blue end of the spectrum( the higher energy) and reflects light at the red end of the spectrum (a lower energy). While the blue light absorbs energy at the red end of the spectrum and reflects blue light

Blue light has a shorter wavelength than red light (and thus a higher frequency), so a blue photon of light has greater energy than a red one.

∙ 8y agoIt doesn't quite work that way. Red objects absorb more of any light that is not red (red is mainly reflected, that's why we see it red). Blue objects absorb more of any light that is not blue. So, how much total energy is absorbed will depend on the specific color (what type of red? what type of blue?) as well as on the specific mix of frequencies of the light.

Why do light colors absorb less heat than dark colors?
Colors that appear light appear that way because they absorb less of the incident light, and reflect more of it to you.Colors that appear dark appear that way because they absorb more of the incident light, and reflect less of it to you.
Does red absorb more heat than blue?
no this is false. blue wins. blue is also awesome.
Do sunglasses absorb light?
Yes. All kind of sunglasses absorb some light. Some light is reflected too. Dark sunglasses absorb more than not so dark sunglasses.
Does darker color absorb more heat than light color?
Yes it does.
Does gray absorb more light then white?
Yes it does. Black absorbs the most light. That is why in a car, for example, black seats are hotter than white or tan. Also the material matters as well. Rougher surfaces absorb more heat than smoother surfaces. That is also why leather seats absorb more light, or heat, and feel hotter than other material seats.
Does chlorophyll a absorb mostly orange-red and violet blue light?
actually plants are green to the human eye because they reflect green light witch in return your eyes absorb so the chlorophyll absorbs the red and the blue while reflecting the green spectrum. btw the plants absorb more blue light than red as blue light contains more energy than red due to the higher Frequency and therefor more energy.

Do dark rocks absorb more heat than light rocks?
Dark rocks will absorb more radiant heat than light rocks, for the same reason that any dark object absorbs more heat than an equivalent light object. Light objects appear "light" to us because they reflect more light than objects which appear dark. Dark objects appear dark because they absorb more light and reflect less. However, dark objects will radiate more heat that light objects. Actually, dark rocks do NOT absorb more radiant heat than light rocks. Nor do they radiate more heat than light rocks. Dark rocks DO absorb more LIGHT than light rocks and they then radiate this light at heat. Light rocks reflect the light rather than absorb it and therefore do not radiate as much heat. If you put a light rock and a dark rock next to a HEAT source, the amount of heat absorbed will be related to the makeup of the material rather than to the color.
Do plants absorb or reflect green light?
YES. Plants absorb AND reflect green light. Leaves are green due to a compound called chlorophyll. The light absorbed by chlorophyll is used to power photosynthesis, the conversion of light energy into chemical energy. On a relative basis, chlorophyll absorbs more blue and red light, compared to green light; and therefore reflects less red and blue light. As a result, there is more green light than red or blue light reflected, so the chlorophyll containing part of the plant appears green. It is commonly thought that chlorophyll does not absorb green light, but that is a fallacy. A dark green leaf can absorb 90% of the green light impinging on it. In contrast, 95% of the red and blue light may be absorbed.
Why does blue light scatter more than red light?
blue light has shorter wavelength than the red light.scattering of light is more when wavelength is small.
Do sunglasses absorb light?
Yes. All kind of sunglasses absorb some light. Some light is reflected too. Dark sunglasses absorb more than not so dark sunglasses.
Why are vains blue and artries red?
Veins are actually more transparent than anything else. Veins appear blue due to the way the deoxygenated blood (Dark Red in color--not blue) and subcutaneous fat (fat under the skin) absorb light. They absorb all colors except the blue that you see.
Why does the color of a light affect a plants growth or does it?
The color of a light does affect a plants growth. Plants absorb certain colors of light better than others, and, essentially, the more light a plant can absorb, the more it can grow.
Does darker color absorb more heat than light color?
Yes it does.
Do dark colors create more heat than the light colors?
Yes. Light is visible electromagnetic radiation. Dark colors absorb more light, so they absorb more energy and release it as heat energy. Light colors do the opposite, they reflect light.
In glass blue light bends more than green light and green light bends more than red light Which one of the following has the highest index of refraction in glass?
The blue light is refracted more.
