Yes. Matter may also transmit light through it.
Transmit refers to the process of passing through something without being obstructed or absorbed. Reflect refers to the process of bouncing back off a surface without being absorbed or transmitted. Absorb refers to the process of taking in or soaking up energy or light without reflecting or transmitting it.
White surfaces reflect light and heat. Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.White surfaces reflect light and heat.

Reflect, Refract, Transmit, Absorb [those mainly have to do with the wave properties of light].Then there is the phenomenon where photons of light excite electrons, which re-emit photons of light sometimes at a different wavelength.

An opaque object does not reflect light. Opaque objects absorb light.

All substances absorb and reflect light to varying degrees. Some also transmit light.

The color of objects is determined by their ability to reflect, absorb, scatter or transmit light and also by the anatomy& physiology of the eye and brain.

Glass, clear plastics, perspex, most gases
Reflect.
absorb.Black absorb heat faster than any other colour.Black will never 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.
