Physics: What is the use of Black Painted Surface in a Solar Cooker?

BY Team Aakash Byju's

Solar cooker boils the food by absorbing heat from solar energy.

Black colour painted cooker can absorb more heat energy and does not allow the heat to escape outside.

Pots and pans used in a solar cooker should be bleached with black to absorb heat.

Black surfaces are outstanding absorbers of radiation and help in imprisoning more heat inside a cooker, enhancing the coherence of the solar cooker.

It is a good conductor of radiation that absorbs more heat.

The interconnection between the light energy and the recipient material transforms light energy into heat energy.

The transformation is enabled by using materials that direct and preserve the food's heat.
