A photon is absorbed by an electron and then it is emmited to a different direction. Quantum electrodynamics can give you a better answer to your question. There is a book i have read recently called QED: The strange theory of light and matter which is a collection of Feynmann's lectures on QED that everyone can understand without knowing maths or quantum mechanics, and can explain very well how light and electrons interact.

What are objects that reflect scatter or transmit light said to be?

Objects that reflect light are said to be "reflective", objects that scatter light are said to be "diffusive", and objects that transmit light are said to be "transparent" or "translucent".


Do only shiny objects reflect light?

No, all objects reflect light to some degree, both shiny and non-shiny. Shiny objects tend to reflect more light due to their smooth and polished surfaces, while non-shiny objects may reflect less light and appear duller because of their rough or textured surfaces.


Could dark objects reflect light?

Yes. There is hardly anything that reflects NO light; dark objects simply reflect less light than light objects.


Do all objects reflect light?

No, not all objects reflect light. Some objects absorb light, while others transmit it through or scatter it around. Objects appear to reflect light depending on their material composition and surface properties.


Why can't you see reflection in all objects that reflect light?

You cannot see your reflection in all objects that reflect light because of diffuse reflection.


What is it called when objects reflect light?

It is called reflection. When objects reflect light, the light bounces off the surface of the object and into our eyes, allowing us to see the object.


What is produced when objects reflect light?

grey


Why cant you see your reflection in all objects that replect light?

You cannot see your reflection in all objects that reflect light because of diffuse reflection.


Do opaque objects transmit and reflect light?

Opaque objects do not transmit light, meaning light cannot pass through them. Instead, they reflect, absorb, or scatter light that strikes them, depending on their properties.


Objects that do not reflect light well?

Dark colors, especially flat black do not reflect light well. Carbon Nanotubes are considered the worst for reflecting light.


Why do you see lemons as yellow?

All objects reflect the color of light that you see. Thus; lemons reflect yellow light rays, limes reflect green ones, and Oranges reflect orange light rays. On a final note, white objects reflect all colored light waves, and black objects reflect none. With that said, the cones in your retina register these reflected light rays; thus, it makes sense that rooms without any light are black.
