Yes, a leaf can reflect light. The glossy surface of some leaves allows them to reflect sunlight, which can make them appear shiny or vibrant in color.

Why does a green leaf appear green in daylight and dark in red light?

A green leaf appears green in daylight because it reflects green light and absorbs other colors. In red light, the leaf appears dark because it does not reflect red light well, as it absorbs more of the red light. This phenomenon is due to the specific pigments present in the leaf that interact with different wavelengths of light.


Is leaf a non reflector of light?

i think it is a reflector of light as we are able to see a leaf in the presence of light, it means when light bounces back into our eye, we can see it otherwise we would not be able to see it. however it is not a good reflector of light, but a poor reflector of light.


What colors reflect?

Lighter colors reflect light better because it does not absorb all of it some of it reflects and you see light colors. That is why they appear light. They reflect almost all of the light that hits them thus making them light. White reflects the most light and black absorbs the most light. Different colors reflect different amounts of light. Light is also heat. Thus the more light reflected the cooler the object.

Why does a mirror and a leaf reflect light differently?

Light is reflected of metal when it is polished and flat because it is very light and lighter colors reflect light whereas darker colors such as green suck the colors in.


What color does a green leaf appear to be in red light?

Black, obviously. The reason green leaves appear green is because when placed in white light, the leaf absorbs all the colors of the spectrum and reflects only green light. However, in red light, the leaf absorbs the red light but is unable to reflect any green light because there is no green to reflect. So, it appears black. Try watching green plants at night (or very low light conditions). That should give you a practical proof of the fact mentioned above.


What color does a green leaf appear to be in a red light Why?

It appears black. A green pigment can only reflect green light and red light is a primary colour, that is it contains only red.

Do mirrors reflect without light?

Mirrors reflect whether there is anything to reflect at the minute. Beside light they can also reflect heat radiation.
