Visible Light is electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between 380nm and 750nm.
Objects can either absorb the light, or reflect it. And, many objects just absorb specific wavelengths and reflect specific wavelengths creating the appearance of various colors.
White is essentially reflecting all light, and absorbing none giving you the appearance of white.
Black is essentially absorbing all (or most) light of all wavelengths, and reflecting little.
Flat colors essentially scatter light, like millions of tiny mirrors pointing in different random directions, giving somewhat of a homogeneous appearance.
Glossy colors essentially reflect light all in the same direction (like a colored mirror), with the reflections in the same direction so you might be able to see the reflection of your face or another object.
Paint, and colors used in man-made stuff are caused by pigments that reflect certain colors that people thought were aesthetically pleasing. Nature has made it's own choice for trees, flowers, shrubs, etc. Flowers, in particular, are designed by nature with vibrant colors to attract pollinators, and to spread the plant's genes. Of course, people have also domesticated many flowers and bred in traits they liked.

To reflect mean to absorb light waves?
when light bounces off of a bumpy surface, will you see the object the light is striking
Why does light reflect off an object?
no,because your an idiot I'll tell you oh nevermind haha
What is produced when light strikes on opaque object?
Either the light reflect from the object or absorbed into the object.
Which explains how a plane mirror works?
light rays reflect off an object, strike the mirror, and are reflected into your eyes.
What light waves does a blue object reflect?
The wavelengths are corresponded to the color of the light. A blue object will reflect any light radiation expect the color blue. It will absorb the blue light.
Does light reflect off of an opque object?
No ,beacause it is an solid colored object.
Does a luminous object produce its own light?
A luminous object can reflect light off other light sources. But it can also produce its own light.

Why do colours of objects look different in the night?
there is no light to reflect off the object that you want to see
Why does light reflect off an object?
no,because your an idiot I'll tell you oh nevermind haha
Would a black microscopically flat or smooth object reflect light?
A flat object would reflect light but it depends on what sort of flat object is it.
What will reflect light?
Any object will reflect light. Some more, some less.
What is produced when light strikes on opaque object?
Either the light reflect from the object or absorbed into the object.
When reflecting light?
light is reflected when it falls on some object. every object has the ability to reflect light.
What object in the solar system gives off its own heat and light?
The sun. All other objects reflect heat and light from the sun.
Which explains how a plane mirror works?
light rays reflect off an object, strike the mirror, and are reflected into your eyes.
