Not necessarily. Most often black, not smooth surfaces absorb more light. This most often why people in desert climates wear light or white clothing, to ensure they do not get hot in the already 100-degree Fahrenheit plus temperatures. To understand the answer more, let's look at a very reflective object. If the object acts like a mirror, but is very bumpy, the picture will be distorted but it still reflects the came amount of light. Finally, if the sun is shining right on you and you are wearing black clothing, you will most likely feel hot, even if the clothing is not entirely smooth. Hope this helped!
What else can I help you with?
Is light reflected from all surfaces?
No, although the reflective quality of mirrors varies widely. A lot of the energy is absorbed by the glass of an ordinary mirror, and a lot is absorbed by the reflective material itself, since this material is not going to be perfect. Mirrors of the highest possible quality [used in the most technically advanced light telescopes, for example] probably have reflective values that come close to perfection.
Reflects a lot of light from its surface?
The object is likely reflective, meaning it bounces off a significant amount of light that reaches its surface. This can make it appear shiny or glossy, and is a property often associated with polished metals, glass, or other smooth surfaces.
Why do some material objects look shiny?
Shininess is caused by how light interacts with the surface of an object. Smooth surfaces reflect light more uniformly, creating a shiny appearance as the light is not scattered in different directions. Shiny objects tend to have highly polished or smooth surfaces that reflect a lot of light, making them appear glossy or reflective.
Does a rough surface have a lot of friction?
Yes, rough surfaces generally have more friction than smooth surfaces because there are more points of contact between the two surfaces, leading to greater resistance when attempting to slide or move one surface over the other.
What d describes objects that take in a lot of light?
Dense objects that absorb a lot of light are typically referred to as opaque. These objects do not allow light to pass through them easily, resulting in the absorption of most of the incident light.
Do dark or light surfaces attarct and absorb heat easier?
A dark surface will absorb the heat from sunlight. While a white surface will reflect a lot of the sunlight and remain cooler.
Is a disco ball a light source?
Nope. It is simply a ball with a lot of shiny, smooth surfaces. A light projecter would be placed on top to project light while the ball reflects it.

What objects reflect almost all of the light?
Highly reflective surfaces such as mirrors, polished metals, and smooth white surfaces like snow or chalk reflect almost all of the light that falls on them. These objects have a high albedo, or reflectivity, which allows them to bounce light back without absorbing much of it.
Does a rough surface have a lot of friction?
Yes, rough surfaces generally have more friction than smooth surfaces because there are more points of contact between the two surfaces, leading to greater resistance when attempting to slide or move one surface over the other.

Why do balls bounce better on hard surfaces than soft ones?
Soft surfaces absorb quite a lot of the energy (by deforming) that the ball uses to spring back up, whereas hard surfaces don't absorb that energy (because they don't deform), and so the energy is used to deform the ball, which is then converted back into kinetic energy and the ball bounces.
What happens to light as it hits an object?
Part of it is reflected, and part of it is absorbed, and raises object's temperature(to be exact energy). For example mirrors absorb very little light, but reflect a lot. Black surfaces tend to do opposite. That's why being dressed in black in summer will make you sweat more than wearing white.
Why does black absorb sunlight?
Black absorbs sunlight because it contains pigments that absorb a wide range of wavelengths of light, including those in the visible and near-infrared spectrum. This absorbed light energy is then converted into heat, which raises the temperature of the black object.
When light rays hit a rough surface and bounce back at different angles?
Light will be both absorbed and will be reflected unevenly (scattered) when impinging on a surface that is irregular. It depends on the light and the surface, but some light will be absorbed, and the rest (a little or a lot) will be scattered when it is reflected in different directions.
