Light and sound waves can both be reflected. Light reflects off of smooth surfaces like mirrors, while sound waves reflect off of hard surfaces like walls or cliffs.
When light strikes an object, it can be absorbed by the object, converting into other forms of energy, or it can be reflected off the object's surface, allowing us to see the object if the reflected light reaches our eyes.
Objects have color because of the way they interact with light. When light strikes an object, some of the light is absorbed and some is reflected. The reflected light is what we see as color. The specific color we perceive is determined by the wavelengths of light that are reflected.
Light can be reflected off a surface, refracted through a medium, or absorbed by a material.
We see things as certain colors because of the way our eyes perceive the different wavelengths of light that are reflected off objects. These wavelengths are then processed by our brains, which interpret them as specific colors based on how they stimulate the cells in our eyes.
When light hits a surface, three things can happen: it can be absorbed by the surface, reflected off the surface, or transmitted through the surface. The amount of light that is absorbed, reflected, or transmitted depends on the properties of the surface material.

The 3 things that can happen to radiated heat when it arrives at any surface are:1. It can be Transmitted2. Absorbed3. Reflected
The word reflected has more than one meaning, depending how it's used. Examples: 1. While out on a sail boat, the man reflected upon his life, and thought to himself, if he were given a second chance, all the things he would've done differently. 2. The President's speech reflected his philosophy about not getting involved in certain foreign affairs. 3. Her diamond necklace sparkled beautifully as it reflected the sunlight.

Things appear colored due to the way light interacts with their surface. When light hits an object, certain wavelengths are absorbed while others are reflected. The reflected wavelengths are what our eyes perceive as color. Different colors are created by varying combinations of absorbed and reflected wavelengths.

-- Violet is most reflected by things that look violet, like pansies.-- Red is most reflected by things that look red, like fire engines.-- White light is the mixture of all colors. It's reflected most by thingsthat reflect all colors, like chalk and white shirts.-- Black is not a color. It's the absence of light of any color. Things that absorblight of every color and reflect no light of any color look black.

We see things mainly by the sunlight reflecting off it, although we also use artificial light. The moon is simply one of the things we see by reflected sunlight and sunlight can only be reflected from the parts which are sunlit.
