It can reflect, absorb or scatter off the object.
It can be absorbed or reflected.
An object is a good emitter of radiation if it is a good absorber of radiation.
A speeding missile, or any moving object, has momentum. Force was used to cause it to move in the first place. If this object strikes another object, it will then exert a force on the object that it strikes.
The apparent color of the object.
The radiation is being totally reflected.The object is absorbing momentum from the radiation, and is experiencinga force ... being 'pushed' ... in the direction that the radiation was travelingbefore the bounce.I'm not making that up.
Radiation can occur in a vacumn.
It cause a reflection(:
refracted or reflected
The light is absorbed and changed to tiny amount of heat.
The kinetic energy of heat is converted into radiation (mostly infra-red) [thus the original object cools] and IF the radiation strikes some body, then the second body will warm up.
An object at any temperature emits electromagnetic radiation, mainly from its surface. This can be infrared, or - at higher temperatures - visible light. This electromagnetic radiation can travel through empty space, or through air. If it strikes another object, the energy (or part of the energy) will be transfered to this other object.
Basically three things can happen to light as it strikes an object. It can be reflected, absorbed, or it can pass through. For simplicity, assume the object is not transparent; in that case, any light that is not reflected is absorbed.
primary radiation
An object is a good emitter of radiation if it is a good absorber of radiation.

When light strikes a black object what energy is it changed to?
radiation from object decreases as the temperature rises
