A tank painted with which of the following coloured paints, would heat up maximum by radiation from sun ?
Correct answer: C. Black paint
- A. Yellow paint
- B. White paint
- C. Black paint
- D. Grey paint
Explanation
Black surfaces absorb the greatest fraction of incident solar radiation because they have high absorptivity. White and light-coloured paints reflect more radiation and therefore heat less.
