It reflects back and a small amount is absorbed into its reflective surface.

Does paper reflect light?
Yes, but since its surface is uneven (at atomic level), light is not reflected as in the case of a mirror. Anything that we can see (except black) reflects light. The white paper, for instance, reflects all the colours of white light and this is why it appears white to our eye.
What happens if the white neutral is not hook ed up at the light?
Then the light won't work!!but it does work..
What will happen if you shine a white light in front of a black oject?
Unless it's space, it will reflect some light. This is because there is no man made shade of black that absorbs 100% of all light shone on it. Some natural examples of true black is pure carbon and space.
Describe what will happen when the ray is shone at the glass block?
The light is deviated from a straight line or "bends" towards the normal on entering the glass and then away from the normal on leaving the glass. At certain angles the light undergoes dispersion - so that different wavelengths are deviated at different angles - and colours are separated - pure white light will separate into the spectrum.
What makes it possible to see yourself in the surface of a lake?
It is because Water in rivers are like Mirrors, same just like the sea, water is actually transparent and what makes it blue is the sky, that happens because its acting like a mirror, it reflects because the light go to the water and reflects it to our eye and that what makes it act like a mirror.
What happens when a ray shone at a glass block?
The white light splits into a spectrum.the original colors will appear. This is referred as REFRACTION.
What happens when light is shone at a prism?
It splits into the colours that make it up, so white light makes a rainbow, and different colours produce different results.
What kind of pattern of light would you get if you shone monochromatic light on a diffraction grating?
If you shone monochromatic light on a diffraction grating it would alternate bright and dark bands. Only white light white light shone through a diffraction grating would produce a band of colors.
Why does the spectrum appear when White light is shone into a prism?
because the prism splits the white light into all colors of visible light
What colour would a white object be if a blue light shone on it?
blue
What is the break up of white light into seven colours?
It is the refraction of white light being shone through a glass prism, or a raindrop, that separates the white light into the colours of the rainbow.
What would a red object look like shone onto a white light?
red
What colour does red paper look like when white light is shone on it?
It looks red.
If white light were shone through a green filter which light would pass through the filter?
Mostly green.
Why is white light considered as a composition of all colors?
Because white light, when shone through a prism, will divide into all the colours. And all the colours, mixed together, will combine into white light.
What corlors make up yellow?
Red and green light, shone to overlap on a white surface, will give yellow.
What happens when light is shone through a prism?
It depends on the shape of the prism and the angle of incidence. For prism in the shape of an equilateral triangle the white light splits into the colours of the spectrum as red light is slowed down less than blue in glass, so the red light is bent less than the blue
