A material that reflects and absorbs all light that strikes its surface is called a perfect absorber, or a blackbody. It absorbs all incident light and reflects none, resulting in a black appearance.
A material that reflects or absorbs any light that strikes it is opaque.Tranlucent or transparent materials allow some or all light to pass through.
Shiny surfaces do not absorb light because they have a smooth surface that reflects most of the light that hits them. This reflection prevents the light from being absorbed into the material, giving it a shiny appearance.
No, black absorbs most visible light that strikes it, which is why it appears dark. However, some light may be reflected or scattered depending on the surface texture and material properties.
The material an object is made of and the color of light it reflects can determine how hot an object gets when it is left out in the sun. Color and material both affect the amount of heat an object will absorb.
That depends on the material, its colour and the light. If you hit something red with red light it almost reflects everything, if you hit it with blue light, it gets almost completly absorbed.
No material reflects all light. Silver is pretty close, which is why it is used for mirrors. As far as absorbing, porous black materials do the best job.

When light strikes a mirror, it reflects off the mirror surface, resulting in a "bounce" effect. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection based on the law of reflection. Mirrors do not absorb light like opaque materials and do not create shadows like opaque objects.
Yes, matter can absorb light when it interacts with it, causing the energy of the light to be converted into internal energy within the material. Matter also reflects light when the surface of the material does not absorb the light's energy but instead bounces it back. The color of the material is determined by which wavelengths of light are absorbed and which are reflected.
When light bounces off a surface, it is not absorbed by the surface unless the material is specifically designed to absorb light, such as in solar panels. Instead, the light reflects off the surface, which allows us to see objects and colors.
No, a spoon does not absorb light. It reflects and scatters light that hits its surface, allowing us to see its shiny appearance.
A black surface tends to absorb more heat than a polished surface. The dark color of a black surface allows it to absorb a wider range of wavelengths of light, converting more of the light into heat. A polished surface reflects more light, which results in less absorption of heat.
All substances absorb and reflect light to varying degrees. Some also transmit light.
