A black cloth absorbs what colors of light?

A black cloth absorbs all colors of light because of how it interacts with the visible spectrum. When light hits a surface, it can be reflected, absorbed, or transmitted. A black object absorbs most of the light that falls on it across all wavelengths within the visible spectrum, resulting in little to no reflection. This characteristic is due to the material's properties and pigments, which convert light energy into heat instead of reflecting it. The absorbed light represents the colors that are not seen; therefore, a black cloth appears black because it absorbs all colors and does not reflect any back to the observer.
