Some of the light gets soaked in (absorbed) by the object, and some of it
bounces off of the object and continues on in another direction.
One factor that typically figures into the choice is the wavelength of the light.
When an object absorbs the light that hits it, the object appears dark.
When all light that hits an object is absorbed by it the object appears black. Similarly we see a wight object when all light that hits the object gets reflected off it!!!!!

Light can either be reflected, refracted, or absorbed when it hits something.

The light gets reflected from the object and into your eyes so you can see
if light from a light globe hits an object as a book it usually reflects on that object we can see them because of the light reflected on them
The light has been reflected back off the object.
no when a light hits an object the light will bounce back
Light striking an object can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed. Light passing near an object can be diffracted. These are all the possible interactions.
when it hits an object
Reflection.
