Both. The darker the book's color the more light it absorbs, but if it did not reflect some light then you could not see the book.

A book typically reflects light due to its glossy or matte surface, depending on the type of paper and finish used. The reflective properties of the surface determine how much light is bounced off the book.

Does a red light shone on a red surface reflect or absorb?
Reflect.
Would a black cloth reflect or absorb light and why?

What secondary storage device is coded with areas that reflect and absorb laser light?
Optical storage devices are coded with areas that reflect and absorb laser light.
Does an opaque object reflect the light it does not absorb?
true
What materials only absorb and reflect light?
Opaque
Can white reflect black or does black absorb white?
Black surfaces absorb all light. White surfaces do not "reflect black" as there's no such thing as black light.
Why do light coloured objects reflect radiation more than dark coloured objects?
Because dark colours absorbs light, and energy;and its named absortion coefficient. ============================== Some substances and objects made from them reflect more light and absorb less. Other substances and objects made from them reflect less light and absorb more. The ones that reflect more and absorb less are the ones that appear lighter to us. Why ? Because they absorb less light and reflect more of it toward our eyes.
Why only using green light would the plants look droopy?
Chlorophyll in plants does not absorb green light as they reflect this color. That is why plants are, generally, green as they reflect green light and absorb other wavelengths of light.
What is a substance that dose not transmit light?
An opaque object does not reflect light. Opaque objects absorb light.
What is material that doesn't allow light to pass through?
My guess would be a wall. But, I'm not a Scientist. Hope this helped. I think the correct answer is OPAQUE. An opaque surface will reflect some of the light and absorb the rest, a reflective surface will absorb some of the light and reflect the rest, either will prevent light from passing through. A black hole will absorb all light and reflect nothing, this also prevents light passing through.
Matter can absorb and reflect light?
Yes. Matter may also transmit light through it.
