What happens to light in a vacuum?
It depends on what are you asking for. If the question is related to the speed, then nothing occurs. If it is related to absortion, then you do not have absortion and you can "see" it from far, far away. "Light" is an electromagnetic wave. As all of them, its speed is independent of the medium in which travel. They do not need a physical medium to travel (in contrast to pressure waves, like the sound). The speed of light (defined as c = 3·108 m/s) is the same everywhere in the Universe. Of course, any material medium cause absortion. Due to this it is impossible to see object which are far away, because the atmosphere absorbe the energy of the light. In the outer space, opposite to this, you have almost a "vacuum", so you can see star's light which comes from light-year distance. As the medium is the vacuum, the light doesn't have absortion and it travel a lot. You have of course some regions with dust, so you do not see all the stars in the Universe.

Is black the absence of all light or the absortion of all light waves in hair?
Both. Where you perceive what we call 'black', what you perceive is the absence of any visible light coming from that place. One way for that to happen is for no visible light to reach that place, so that there's none to bounce off toward your eyes.. Another way for it to happen is for the substance at that place to absorb any visible light that does reach it, so that there's none left to bounce off of it toward your eyes.
Why do light coloured objects reflect radiation more than dark coloured objects?
Because dark colours absorbs light, and energy;and its named absortion coefficient. ============================== Some substances and objects made from them reflect more light and absorb less. Other substances and objects made from them reflect less light and absorb more. The ones that reflect more and absorb less are the ones that appear lighter to us. Why ? Because they absorb less light and reflect more of it toward our eyes.
