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.

Do all objects reflect light waves?
No. A black hole does not reflect light waves. But that is assuming you regard a black hole as an "object."
Do only shiny objects reflect light?
No, everything that we can see (besides objects the produce light eg sun, light bulb) reflect light. If it didn't reflect light we would not be able to see it.
Why cant light pass through dark objects?
Dark objects do not reflect light. Light is absorbed by them.
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 is it called when objects reflect light?
reflection
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.
Why can't you see your reflection in all objects that reflect?
You cannot see your reflection in all objects that reflect light because of diffuse reflection.
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.
Do all objects reflect light waves?
No. A black hole does not reflect light waves. But that is assuming you regard a black hole as an "object."
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 only shiny objects reflect light?
No, everything that we can see (besides objects the produce light eg sun, light bulb) reflect light. If it didn't reflect light we would not be able to see it.
Could dark objects reflect light?
Yes. There is hardly anything that reflects NO light; dark objects simply reflect less light than light objects.
Why cant light pass through dark objects?
Dark objects do not reflect light. Light is absorbed by them.
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.
