    An experiment would be designed to show that black is a good absorber of radiation by: 1) Exposing black and white surfaces to a radiation source and measuring the temperature increase of each surface over time. 2) The black surface should show a greater temperature increase than the white surface due to black being a better absorber of radiation. 3) A diagram could be drawn showing the experimental setup.
