Does white plastic absorb or transmit solar radiation?
White anything will REFLECT radiation, it will not transmit or absorb.
Matter can absorb and reflect light?
Yes. Matter may also transmit light through it.
Which object or material reflects infrared rays?
All materials will reflect, absorb and transmit (allow to pass through) electromagnetic radiation. This is called the Transmit/Reflect (T/R) ratio and it will vary for a material based on the wavelength of the incident radiation. IR radiation does not transmit through most materials. It is absorbed/reflected. Metalized Mylar has a small transmit/reflect ratio.
Definitions of Transmit reflect and absorb?
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.
What is the difference between the way black and white surfaces affect light?
White surfaces reflect light and heat. Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.White surfaces reflect light and heat.

How does sunscreen filter out the sun?
Sunscreens contain UV filters or reflectors (or both) like Titanium Dioxide which absorb or reflect some of the sun's ultraviolet radiation on the skin.

What is a substance that dose not transmit light?
An opaque object does not reflect light. Opaque objects absorb light.

What is Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane?
It is an oil soluble ingredient used in sunscreen products to absorb the full spectrum of UVA rays. It is a dibenzoylmethane derivative. Its ability to absorb ultraviolet light over a wider range of wavelengths than many organic sunscreen agents has led to its use in many commercial preparations marketed as "broad spectrum" sunscreens
How does sunscreen protect us from the sun?
Sunscreens contain ultraviolet (UV) filters which protects the skin from the ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB). Exposure to ultraviolet radiation can cause sunburn and skin cancer. Sunscreens absorb or reflect the radiation, and therefore protect the skin.
Which substance is one which absorbs or reflects any light that strikes it?
All substances absorb and reflect light to varying degrees. Some also transmit light.
Why do different elements have different colors?
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.
Does the thermosphere absorb ultraviolet?
The ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet radiation. The ozone layer is in the stratosphere. So, the thermosphere does not absorb radiation.
Why sunscreen can be a factor in dealing with UV light?
UV stands for Ultra Violet, and UV light is harmful to your skin if your skin is exposed for long enough. Sunscreen tends to block, absorb, or reflect UV rays, therefore protecting your skin. The strength of the sunscreen can differ, and that's why you see labels on sunscreen bottles saying "25 SPF" or "35 SPF", the higher numbers indicating stronger sunscreen for longer or more intense exposures.
