Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

It is the other way round, a black object appears black because it absorbs all the wavelength of light and does not reflect any light.

  • A black bucket will appear black because, it absorbs all wavelength of light incident on it.
  • No other wavelength is reflected from the surface of the body.
  • A black color suggests that a body is not reflecting any color.
  • Instead such a body absorbing all the colors.
  • For a white object, they reflect all the wavelength that is incident upon them.
