- Some black objects that absorb visible light radiation may reflect infrared.
- Much of the absorbed visible light energy is re-emitted as infrared up to many hours later.
- There are subcategories of infrared, two common ones are near-infrared and far-infrared. Near being closer to visible light.
What else can I help you with?
What is it called when objects reflect light?
It is called reflection. When objects reflect light, the light bounces off the surface of the object and into our eyes, allowing us to see the object.
Do most objects give off their own light?
No, most objects do not give off their own light. Objects either reflect light from a light source or emit light when they are heated to a high temperature.
Do light waves reflect off objects?
Yes, light waves reflect off objects when they hit a surface. The angle of reflection of the light wave is equal to the angle of incidence, based on the law of reflection. This phenomenon is the reason we can see objects because our eyes detect the reflected light.
Can mirrors reflect light?
Yes. Mirrors reflect all wavelengths of visible light and possibly some infrared or ultraviolet.
What do you understand by the term reflection of light . Name two objects which can reflect light?
Reflection of light is the phenomenon where light rays bounce off a surface after striking it. A mirror and a smooth metal surface are two examples of objects that can reflect light.

Why are you unable to see non- luminous objects in a dark box?
Because light can't directly reach the objects, or reflect well off the inside walls of the box. So not enough light bounces off the walls, then bounces off the objects, and then goes to your eyes.
Can mirrors reflect light?
Yes. Mirrors reflect all wavelengths of visible light and possibly some infrared or ultraviolet.

Do shiny things reflect light?
Yes, shiny objects reflect light because they have a smooth surface that allows light to bounce off without being absorbed. This reflection gives shiny objects their glossy appearance.
Why can you see a cup even though it does not give off light?
Objects that don't give off light - like a cup - reflect incoming light.
Do light rays reflect off your eyes onto objects?
Yes, light rays can reflect off the surface of your eyes onto objects, especially when you are in a well-lit environment. This reflection is known as "eye shine" and can be observed in animals as well.
Does an object have to be shiny to reflect light?
No, an object doesn't have to be shiny to reflect light. All objects reflect light to some extent, even if they are not shiny, because light can bounce off their surface regardless of their texture or appearance.
Why do colours of objects look different in the night?
there is no light to reflect off the object that you want to see
Why do a yellow bus appear yellow?
Colours appear the way they are because of light. Objects such as this bus reflect colours from light..thats why most things apear black in the dark because there is little or no light to reflect off of. Yellow objects reflect yellow while absorbing remaining colours
