A rough surface reflects light in many directions.?
All surfaces reflect light. However, only the smoothest surfaces reflect all light in one direction. These are shiny and include mirrors and metal. Some surfaces just reflect the light in all directions, which is why you cannot see the reflection.
Which surfaces absorb heat?
All surfaces absorb some heat.
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.
What is material that doesn't allow light to pass through?
My guess would be a wall. But, I'm not a Scientist. Hope this helped. I think the correct answer is OPAQUE. An opaque surface will reflect some of the light and absorb the rest, a reflective surface will absorb some of the light and reflect the rest, either will prevent light from passing through. A black hole will absorb all light and reflect nothing, this also prevents light passing through.
What are some materials that do NOT reflect light?
All materials reflect light to some extent. Those which reflect it least have matte black surfaces, so this is often a function of how the substance is prepared rather than what it's made of.
Is heat attracted to certain colors?
Yes. What is true about black surfaces is that they are much more absorbent. Some surfaces reflect light much more than others, and the difference roughtly correlates with color to our eyes. White surfaces reflect better, black surfaces absorb better.
Does a marbel surface reflect light?
Unless it is jet black, yes. Most surfaces reflect some light.
Why echo is not produced in many places?
Some surfaces reflect sound well, others don't.

Does a rough surface reflect light in many directions?
Highly polished, shiny surfaces reflect light the best as they are REFLECTive. White or bright surfaces also reflect light well. Dull, Matt surfaces are the worst reflecters of light
Which surfaces absorb heat?
All surfaces absorb some heat.
Opaque absorb or reflect light?
Glass reflects some of the light that hits it, absorbs some of the lightthat enters it, but 'transmits' most of the light that hits it. That's whyyou can see things through it pretty easily.

Does a solution that reflects white light absorb all wave lengths?
If it absorbs all wavelengths then, by definition, it does not reflect any of the incident light. If it reflects all the incident light, then non is absorbed. The solution could also absorb some and reflect some (with different wavelengths).
Why does an object reflect some colours only and absorb the rest?
The pigments used absorb some wavelengths of light and reflects the rest back to your eyes.
