Matter can absorb and reflect light?
Yes. Matter may also transmit light through it.
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.

Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.
What are the ways light interacts with matter?
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.
Does a red light shone on a red surface reflect or absorb?
Reflect.

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

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.

Does allura red food coloring transmit or absorb red light?
transmit
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.

What is an example of the different materials that causes light to absorb reflect or transmit?
Glass, clear plastics, perspex, most gases
Does a red light shone on a red surface reflect or absorb?
Reflect.
Would a black cloth reflect or absorb light and why?
absorb.Black absorb heat faster than any other colour.Black will never reflect light.:)
Do transparent objects 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.
