Question

why cooking pot is coated black? ​

Answer 1

Cooking pots are coated black because they absorb more heat.

Explanation:

• A cooking pot is coated black because black absorbs more heat and makes cooking easier.

• Also, the shiny coating inside the pot ensures that the heat absorbed is not lost and stays within the utensil by the principle of reflection.

• This is due to the fact that the black object absorbs all the wavelengths and reflects none. Black is also a good emitter.
