Yes. Depending on the object (let's use a banana) they reflect different light. Out of appearingly white light, there are colours. A banana appears yellow because it absorbs all other colours and reflects the yellow part of the light. This also means that is you put a plant in green light, it will die because it reflects green and needs the other lights for photosynthesis.

What opaque objects reflects light?

Mirrors, metals, and some plastics are examples of opaque objects that reflect light. These materials have a smooth surface that allows light to bounce off and be reflected in a predictable manner.


Why can you see opaque objects?

Opaque objects do not allow light to pass through them, so they reflect or absorb light rays instead. When light strikes an opaque object, it scatters in different directions, some of which enter our eyes, allowing us to see the object.


Why do opaque objects have color?

Opaque objects have color because they reflect and absorb certain wavelengths of light. The color we perceive is the result of the specific wavelengths being reflected back into our eyes. Materials absorb some wavelengths and reflect others, giving them their distinct color.


What happens when an objects is in the path of lights?

When an object is in the path of light, it can either absorb, reflect, or transmit the light. The specific interaction depends on the properties of the object and the wavelength of the light. For example, opaque objects absorb light, transparent objects transmit light, and reflective objects bounce light off their surface.


What the objects are called that don't reflect light?

Objects that don't reflect light are called non-reflective or light-absorbing. These objects appear dark because they absorb most of the light that reaches them, instead of reflecting it. Examples include black velvet, asphalt, and some types of paints.


Are all light reflectors opaque?

No, not all light reflectors are opaque. Some reflectors, such as mirrors and polished metal surfaces, can be transparent or translucent while still effectively reflecting light. The ability of the material to reflect light is more important than its opacity.


What colors of light are reflected by opaque white object?

Since it appears green in white light, it reflects the green part of the spectrum, absorbing all the other colors. In red light, it would not reflect any color, thus appearing black. Opaque objects absorb some of the light, and reflect the rest.


Are most objects opaque?

No, not all objects are opaque. Some objects are transparent (light passes through easily), translucent (light passes through but is diffused), or opaque (blocks light from passing through). It depends on the material and structure of the object.


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.

Do all objects reflect light?

No, not all objects reflect light. Some objects absorb light, while others transmit it through or scatter it around. Objects appear to reflect light depending on their material composition and surface properties.


Whether or not an object is Translucent transparent or opaque is determined by its ability to what?

An object's ability to transmit light is what determines whether it is translucent, transparent, or opaque. Translucent objects allow some light to pass through, but they scatter it in different directions. Transparent objects allow light to pass through with minimal scattering. Opaque objects do not allow light to pass through at all.
