incident waves.
When light waves strike a blue object, the object absorbs most of the colors in the light spectrum except for blue. Blue light waves are reflected off the object, giving it its blue color.
Depending on the material and its properties, light waves can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted when they strike an object. The specific outcome is determined by factors such as the object's color, texture, density, and transparency.
Light waves can be absorbed by the object, reflected off the object's surface, transmitted through the object, or refracted as they pass through the object.
The light that has bounced off another object is typically referred to as reflected light. This occurs when light waves strike the surface of an object and are redirected or "reflected" off the surface.
Sound waves are detected by the fact that the waves can cause objects to vibrate. The vibrations from the sound waves must be converted into a signal and then amplified and processed. Your ear and a microphone are common detectors of sound.

The behavior of waves when they strike a surface is called reflection. This occurs when waves bounce off a surface at an angle equal to the angle at which they hit the surface.

A sonar transmits sound waves and captures it back after they strike an object. They work on the dopplers principle.
spectrum
Waves bouncing off an object is called reflection.
When objects reflect all light waves that strike them, they will appear white. This is because when all colors of light are reflected equally, they combine to create white light. On the other hand, a black object absorbs all light waves that strike it, so it appears black as no light is being reflected back.
