Which pair of surfaces will absorb the most incoming infrared radiation from a heater?

A student heats two identical metal blocks to the same temperature. One block is painted black and the other polished. When left to cool in the same room, which cools faster and why?

How does atmospheric water vapour affect infrared radiation from the Earth?

What is the most important reason solar thermal panels use dark, matt absorber plates?
