Polyethylene or Glass.
As an experiment go lie in the sun and try to get a sun-tan (or a sun-burn, if you are really fanatical). Lay some clear polyethylene (or a panel of glass) over part of your exposed skin. You should note that the skin under the plastic doesn't tan as well or burn as badly as the exposed skin. This is because the UV is absorbed and the visible and IR is unaffected.
Now I know you said REFLECTS visible and IR light, and Polyethylene and Glass are clearly transparent. (pun alert)
Ordinary paper is such a material however in order to test it requires a UV source, which are not all that easy to come by. To test merely shine your UV source on the test material and note the difference in intensity between the various test materials.
What else can I help you with?
Does Concrete absorbs visible light and re-radiates it as infrared energy?
No, concrete does not absorb visible light and re-radiate it as infrared energy. Concrete reflects and scatters visible light, and it absorbs some of the heat energy from sunlight. This absorbed heat can then be released over time as infrared radiation when the concrete cools down.
What does the color of visible light depend on?
The color of visible light depends on its wavelength. Different wavelengths of light appear as different colors to the human eye. Shorter wavelengths correspond to colors like blue and violet, while longer wavelengths correspond to colors like red and orange.
What color of visible light a red book absorbs?
A red book reflects red and absorbs all other colors. Hence the perceived redness of the book.
What is chlorophyll responsible for?
It is the part of a molecule that is responsible for its color. When a molecule absorbs a wavelength of visible light and reflects or transmits others, this is when the molecule's color will appear.
The green pigment called reflects most of the green light in visible spectrum?
The green pigment called chlorophyll reflects most of the green light in the visible spectrum. It absorbs primarily blue and red light for photosynthesis, while reflecting green light, which is why plants appear green to our eyes. This property is crucial for their ability to convert sunlight into chemical energy.
How can visible light interact with matter?
The matter absorbs or reflects the light.
What material do not scatter light?
not material, but color. the color black absorbs all colors in light and reflects no light to enter your eyes. black is only visible by contrast on other things you can see.
What is a material that reflects or absorbs any light that strikes it?
A material that reflects or absorbs any light that strikes it is opaque.Tranlucent or transparent materials allow some or all light to pass through.
How much light can the color white absorb?
White does not absorb light - it reflects all visible light waves, while black absorbs all visible light and reflects nothing.
What is a material that reflects or absorbs all of the light that strikes is?
A material that reflects all light that strikes it is said to have a high albedo, while a material that absorbs all light is said to have a low albedo. Ideally, a material that reflects all light is considered a perfect reflector, while a material that absorbs all light is considered a perfect absorber (blackbody). These extremes are theoretical constructs and not typically found in natural materials.
What do you called a material that reflects and absorb any light that strikes its surface?
A material that reflects and absorbs all light that strikes its surface is called a perfect absorber, or a blackbody. It absorbs all incident light and reflects none, resulting in a black appearance.
Do an opaque object reflects the light that it does not absorb?
true
Which colour material reflects all light and absorbs none?
White
What is the material that reflects or absorbs all of light that strikes it?
No material reflects all light. Silver is pretty close, which is why it is used for mirrors. As far as absorbing, porous black materials do the best job.
What is a material that absorbs or reflect light that strike it is called?
A material that reflects or absorbs any light that strikes it is opaque.Tranlucent or transparent materials allow some or all light to pass through.
What happens when light strikes on opaque material?
When light strikes an opaque material, the photons are absorbed by the material, causing its atoms or molecules to vibrate or heat up. The material then reflects or absorbs the light energy, depending on its properties. If the material absorbs more light energy than it emits, it will heat up. If it reflects more light, it will appear as a non-shiny surface.
A material that reflects or absorbs all of the light that strikes it is?
A material that reflects or absorbs any light that strikes it is opaque.Tranlucent or transparent materials allow some or all light to pass through.
