What is a translucent object?

An object that permits some light to pass through. E.g.Some bathroom's have fogged glass windows, which help light get in, but not detailed images.


Why is light reflected?

Light is an energy force which has weight. Light particles rebound back to the eye because every object has a reflective surface. Perhaps we could ask the question "Why do we see things in different colors?" Light is white in color. This white light is in actual fact a combination of all the colors of the spectrum. When light strikes an object the object will absorb some of the colors but reject others. The combination of these rejected colors give us the color we see. A green cover book is so because the colors blue and yellow were not absorbed by the material of the book cover. Some say that because some objects absorb all colors the object is seen as black, or the absence of color. So why do we still see black objects? Because even a black object has a reflective surface.


When light strikes electrons.do the electrons reflect the light back?

Not quite. Remember that electrons are part particles and part waves. Light is given off when an electron drops from one energy state to a lower one. In answer to a different question, and may be the one you ask, When light strikes a phosphor, the electrons in the phosphor absorb energy, and give it off some time later. This is Phosphorescence.

How does a mirror work so you can see yourself?

Light bounces off of you, and you absorb some of it. The light that you don't absorb bounces off in a lots of directions. If you are standing near a mirror, some of that light that bounced off you hits the mirror. Mirrors don't absorb any of the light, they reflect it, so all the light bounces again, back at you. The light that goes into your eyes is what you see.
