It will reflect more light per unit area, if that's what you mean.

∙ 11y agod u m b paper does not reflect light
HAHAHA LOLS ^^^^^THIS GUY IS SO NOOB xD
Anyway here is the answer
white paper does reflect light, that is why we can see it. We obviously cant see our own reflection in a white piece of paper because it is rough and the light rays that reflect off the paper goes in different directions so we cant see an image like we would if we were looking at a mirror.
So white pieces of paper reflect light because the light rays will hit the paper and obeying the law of reflection, the rays will reflect in all different directions since the paper is rough.

∙ 15y agoNo colours are absorbed by white objects. White light is the combination of light of all wavelengths in the visible spectrum and since all wavelengths are reflected (perception of colour is based on reflected light), none are absorbed.

∙ 12y agoEverything we see is reflected being we see a color but the object we see is actually every color but the one we see, being one color is reflected no matter what it be between 3500>6500 Angstrom meters being the visible spectrum, this is also the object of chromotography.

∙ 13y agoWhite paper absorbs almost no light at all. We know that white light is made up of all colors. Further, we know that the color of an object is determined by the color of light it reflects. A white object reflects all colors of light to appear white.

∙ 6y agoThe essentials are that the mirror reflects all the light at the same angle so the viewer can see a completely reflected image. The white paper reflects all the light (it's white), but it scatters the light in all directions. There is a bit more to the story regarding the mirror, but as stated, the essentials are there.

∙ 14y agoit reflects all of the light that falls on it. To act as a mirror the surface needs be smooth.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoWhite paper reflects every color in the light spectrum. So the paper is reflecting white light, meaning it is reflecting a blend of the colors.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoIt disperses most of the light it receives in different directions I think, because the surface of white paper is rough and so at different angles.

What colors of the visible light spectrum are absorbed by black objects White objects?
The color of something actually depends on the wavelengths of colors reflected from the objects chosen. For instance, a red apple is red because of the red wavelengths in white light get reflected, while others are absorbed. Actually, if a red apple were to be illuminated by light, the apple would have a black appearance. Now back to the point, when light is absorbed by a black object, the energy of the object carried by When light is absorbed by a black object, the energy carried by the light doesn't just disappear like that. Instead, it raises energy of the object causing the absorption. The object carries the absorbed energy by emitting much longer wavelength, with lower energy infrared (heat). This process of light into heat is like a key to understanding the process. Light doesn't just disappear when struck onto a black object. It's actually transformed into some other species of radiation that could be either radiated from or retained into the black object.
What are specific colors of light that can be seen by the human eye?
The colors of light that can be seen by the human eye are the visible spectrum. The specific colors in the visible spectrum are; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
How is white light and visible spectrum alike?
White light contains all the possible colors of the visible spectrum, so they are the same thing.
What are 7 colors of the visible spectrum?
The 7 colors of the visible spectrum are Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet.A good way to remember this is by the name Roy G Biv, because each letter of that name is starting letter of the spectrum colors. (For Example, the y in Roy stands for yellow.)
When in nature do we see all the colors in the visible light spectrum?
You see all the colors in a rainbow.
Is the visible spectrum dangerous?
No, it is not dangerous. It is just the colors that are absorbed by the light. Some parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are dangerous, however. To learn more in depth and to get more of an explanation on the visible spectrum and the electromagnetic spectrum, visit wikipedia.
Do green plants reflect all colors of the spectrum?
No. Actually they ABSORB all colors of the visible spectrum except green and REFLECT green light.
The range of colors of visible light is called the?
visible spectrum
What type of light gives off all of the colors on the visible spectrum?
White light contains all of the colors in the visible spectrum. Black contains none of these colors.
What are the colors of the rainbow known as?
The visible spectrum
Why can't you see spectrums other than visible spectrum?
yes, there are more colors tha the visible spectrum!
Which reion ofhe visible spectrum is not absorbed well by chlorophyll?
I'm thinking it must be the green region. That's probably why plants look green to me, after their chlorophyll has absorbed all the other colors of light.
What happens to the light rays that are not reflected by and object?
that color is absorbed by the object (therefore you don't see that color. Only reflected colors can be seen)
What do you call all the visible and non-visible colors of light?
the electromagnetic spectrum
What do you call the mixture of 7 colors?
visible spectrum
What contains all the colors of the visible spectrum?
white
A rainbow of colors is called a?
Visible Light Spectrum.
