Is this a correct definition If it cannot reflect light is it nonluminous. For instance fabric cannot reflect light but it does not emit its own light?
No, that is an incorrect definition. Luminous means creating its own light. Non-luminous just means not creating its own light. For instance the Moon is non-luminous. It *does* reflect light. It just does not create its own. Fabric also reflects light. It does not reflect it the same way a mirror does (mostly the light it reflects is scattered) but the fact that you can see the fabric even though it is not emitting light itself means it is reflecting light emitted from other objects. However, it is still non-luminous because it does not create its own light.
