The American Flag flies on a black flagpole white from the sun hits the flag and the flagpole. How is that you can see the blue red and white colors of flag and the black of the flag hole.
The black color of the flagpole does not absorb or reflect light in the same way as the red, white, and blue colors of the American flag. When sunlight falls on the flag, the red and white stripes, as well as the blue field with white stars, reflect light in different wavelengths, allowing us to see those colors.
On the other hand, the black color of the flagpole absorbs most of the visible light that hits it, resulting in minimal reflection. However, it is still possible to see the black color of the flagpole because the white light that hits it scatters or diffuses in different directions. Therefore, some scattered light from the surrounding environment will reach our eyes, allowing us to perceive the black color of the flagpole, although it may appear relatively dark compared to the brightly colored flag.
