How does visible light interact with an object?

Visible light interacts with an object by either being absorbed, transmitted, or reflected. The color of the object is determined by the wavelengths of light that are reflected off its surface. When light is absorbed, it can cause the object to heat up. Transmitted light passes through the object without being absorbed or reflected.

When light is reflected the incident rays are bent and change direction?

When light is reflected, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This law of reflection ensures that the reflected ray changes direction in a predictable manner based on the angle of incidence. The surface characteristics of the material being reflected from can also affect the direction of the reflected light.
