Mystery Balloon Pop – Sick Science! #190
One balloon is blown up inside of another when you use a magnifying glass to focus light onto their surfaces. You expect the balloons to pop, but only the balloon on the inside bursts. What’s going on here? The Mystery Balloon Pop is a tremendous lesson in the power of the sun’s rays and the absorption of light and heat. Did we mention you’re popping balloons for science? Get started!

The black balloon absorbs more sunlight because it's black
The Black Balloon Absorbs More Sunlight From The Sun, The White One Does Not Mostly Absorbs The Heat Because It Is Like A Clear Glass That Does Not Break……
Duh… The clear balloon does not focus the uv Ray but the black balloon does
black asorbs more heat
cool
That may be racist?
poo
The clear balloon didn't pop because the heat of the magnifying glass passes through it and is absorbed by the black balloon.
so we killed the black balloon
light is converged 2 times. one though the magnifying glass and second through the white transparent balloon. and the black one is opaque that's why light does not converge in it. if the white one was opaque, it would pop. and of course black absorbs heat very quick. hope its the good ans. confirm me plz
as the light passes easily through white balloon then the black balloon inside absorb all wave light frequencies which cause to increases in the temperature of black balloon and causes to pop
Do you know any life application phenomenon related to this experiment ? Pls help us for our assignment 🙂
Ik why the sun reflects with white or anything alike and the sun absorbs black things and yeah
