Heat flash

The video tutorial demonstrates how energy in the form of light is absorbed and reflected by different surfaces. A bright camera flash is used to show how black ink absorbs energy, leading to vaporization and smoke, while white paper reflects most of the energy, resulting in less dramatic effects.

What is the significance of energy absorption in the context of the experiment with the newspaper?

Explain why the flash has a less dramatic effect on the white area of the newspaper compared to the black area.
