Which best explains why a black t-shirt gets warmer in the sun than a white t-shirt? a: darker colors reflect more energy from colliding particles than lighter colors do. b: darker colors absorb more energy from colliding particles than lighter colors do. c: darker colors reflect more energy from electromagnetic waves than lighter colors do. d: darker colors absorb more energy from electromagnetic waves than lighter colors do.

THIS IS THE BEST ANSWER 👇

D: Darker colors absorb more energy from electromagnetic waves than lighter colors do.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is a band of radiations with different frequencies – different energies. A black T-shirt is warmer in the Sun than a white T-shirt because a dark color absorbs more radiation than a white one and reflects less. Black absorbs all the energy and shows none. White, on the other hand, represents all the energy and takes none. So a black T-shirt gets warmer in the Sun than a white T-shirt.
