No. A black hole does not reflect light waves. But that is assuming you regard a black hole as an "object."

Why do you see lemons as yellow?

All objects reflect the color of light that you see. Thus; lemons reflect yellow light rays, limes reflect green ones, and Oranges reflect orange light rays. On a final note, white objects reflect all colored light waves, and black objects reflect none. With that said, the cones in your retina register these reflected light rays; thus, it makes sense that rooms without any light are black.


When objects reflect all light waves that stike it's looks whit or black?

An object that reflects all light waves that strike it appears the same color as whatever light illuminates it. Consider a piece of tissue, or a mirror.


Why cant you see your reflection in all objects that replect light?

You cannot see your reflection in all objects that reflect light because of diffuse reflection.


Why can't you see reflection in all objects that reflect light?

You cannot see your reflection in all objects that reflect light because of diffuse reflection.

Do all objects reflect light?

Not quite. Nearly all objects reflect light to some degree, even if only a tiny amount, but a "black hole" absorbs all light shining onto it and reflects none whatsoever.


How do you we see non luminous objects?

We see object from the light they either produce or reflect. The Sun gives off light waves. An object absorbs all colors but what you see. The reflected light then travels to your eyes where it is interpreted.


What do mirrors and other objects do pertaining to light?

Mirrors and other objects reflect light, though most objects absorb some wave lengths and reflect others and black absorbs all wavelengths and white reflects all wavelengths.


Do transparent objects reflect light?

No, a transparent object would totally transmit all light through it. However there are no transparent objects, and objects which we think of as being transparent are in fact translucent. All objects absorb at least some light. Glass for instance will transmit about 90% or so of visible light and reflect the rest. A transparent object will invariably have edges. Those edges are typically polished to facilitate transmission. A polished surface will always reflect some light.


Do opaque object absorbs all the incident light on it?

Be careful not to confuse: Opaque objects are those that do not allow light to pass through it, but they can reflect light. It is BLACK objects that absorb all the incident light on it. To conclude, opaque objects do not necessarily absorb all the incident light on them but black objects ABSORB all the incident light on them (and are, of course, opaque)


What reflects an equal part of each color wave?

I'm assuming your talking about light waves. Black and white objects both reflect all frequencies of light equally. The only difference between the two is their brightness(i.e. amount of light reflected)


What objects reflect almost all of the light?

Mirrors do an excellent job. White painted surfaces also have a higher albedo. Ice, frost, and snow reflect a lot of light.
