A photon is absorbed by an electron and then it is emmited to a different direction. Quantum electrodynamics can give you a better answer to your question. There is a book i have read recently called QED: The strange theory of light and matter which is a collection of Feynmann's lectures on QED that everyone can understand without knowing maths or quantum mechanics, and can explain very well how light and electrons interact.
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.
Which word tells light-colored objects do to heat and light?
Reflect. Light-colored objects reflect heat and light, while dark-colored objects absorb heat and light.
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.
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.
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.
What are objects that reflect scatter or transmit light said to be?
Objects that reflect light are said to be "reflective", objects that scatter light are said to be "diffusive", and objects that transmit light are said to be "transparent" or "translucent".
Why do colours of objects look different in the night?
there is no light to reflect off the object that you want to see
