Does a solution that reflects white light absorb all wave lengths?

If it absorbs all wavelengths then, by definition, it does not reflect any of the incident light. If it reflects all the incident light, then non is absorbed. The solution could also absorb some and reflect some (with different wavelengths).

Why can you see people?
You can see people because light reflects off of them and then hits your retina (rods and cones) and a signal is sent to your brain. Different materials absorb different colors (wave lengths) of light, so that makes the different colors.
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.
Does a red flower absorb red light?
No it reflects the red light, thats why we see it as red
A soultion which reflects white ligt absorbs all wavelengths?
No. If it reflects something, then by definition the solution doesn't absorb it.A solution which reflects white light absorbs NO visible wavelength.does it have to be a liquid? what about natural phosphorus a liquid metal like mercury will be reflective to white light and when light reflects it is not storedOf course not. But that's what the question asked about, so that's what I addressed in the answer.When somebody asks me what time it is, I try not to pin him down while I explain how to build a clock.

Why does black absorb sunlight?
Bonds in molecules absorb light, In black the bonds absorb a lot of visible light frequencies. As black only reflects few frequencies of visible light. it gains it black colour.
