Two children on a playground are playing outside in the sun. One child is wearing a black shirt and the other is wearing a white shirt. Why is the black shirt warmer than the white shirt?

The black shirt absorbs more visible electromagnetic waves than the white, which reflects all visible electromagnetic waves.

The child wearing the black shirt is warmer than the child wearing the white shirt

The child wearing the white shirt is warmer than the child wearing the black shirt

The white shirt absorbs more visible electromagnetic waves than the black, which reflects all visible electromagnetic waves

How are electromagnetic waves different from other waves?

They can travel through a vacuum

They have very short wavelengths

They transmit energy instead of matter

They can change direction by reflection

packets of electromagnetic energy

When radiation burst through electric waves
