An object appears black because it absorbs all the colors of the visible spectrum. If we idealize the object to make it perfectly absorptive, it absorbs all of the white light that strikes it and reflects none. In the real world, some light is always reflected. If the object appears black or dark gray, then it reflects small amounts of all colors of the spectrum.

What happens when light rays hit an opaque object?
When light rays hit an opaque object, they are absorbed or reflected. The object appears opaque because it reflects most of the light that hits it and absorbs very little. This is why we cannot see through opaque objects.
When a object has no color and light hits it what color will it be?
If an object has no color of its own and light hits it, the object will appear white. This is because the object reflects all visible light wavelengths equally, resulting in white light being perceived by our eyes.
Do you see an object when light from your eyes hit that object?
No you see the object because the light refelects from the object into your eyes
What happens when electromagnetic waves hit an object?
When electromagnetic waves hit an object, they can be absorbed, transmitted, reflected, or scattered. The interaction between the waves and the object will depend on the material properties of the object and the frequency of the electromagnetic waves.
What happens when light rays hit the surface of a flat mirror?
When light rays hit the surface of a flat mirror, they are reflected back at the same angle as they approached the mirror. This is known as the law of reflection. The image seen in the mirror is a virtual image that appears to be the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.
What happens when light falls on opaque objects?
"Black" means "no light". That's why a dark room looks black at niight.If an object really looks black, then you know that it must have absorbed any lightthat hit it, because there's none left to bounce from the object into your eyes.
What happens to light rays when they hit an object?
They are reflected or absorbed. nope.. they are Refracted

What happens to tron light cycles when they hit a light wall?
they are derezzed when they hit their own light trail or another program/users trail
Why is light reflected?
Light is an energy force which has weight. Light particles rebound back to the eye because every object has a reflective surface. Perhaps we could ask the question "Why do we see things in different colors?" Light is white in color. This white light is in actual fact a combination of all the colors of the spectrum. When light strikes an object the object will absorb some of the colors but reject others. The combination of these rejected colors give us the color we see. A green cover book is so because the colors blue and yellow were not absorbed by the material of the book cover. Some say that because some objects absorb all colors the object is seen as black, or the absence of color. So why do we still see black objects? Because even a black object has a reflective surface.
Do you see an object when light from your eyes hit that object?
No you see the object because the light refelects from the object into your eyes
When light falls on an object which side do shadows fall?
The shadow will fall on the opposite side that the light hit the object. Assuming that the object is a solid object that you cannot see through, there would be no light on the other side, hence causing the shadow.
What happens when electromagnetic waves hit an object?
When electromagnetic waves hit an object, they can be absorbed, transmitted, reflected, or scattered. The interaction between the waves and the object will depend on the material properties of the object and the frequency of the electromagnetic waves.
Why does a black object appear black in any light?
Because it absorbs all visible light. Visible white light can be divided into 7 colours (the rainbow). Every object appears as the colour they are because they reflect that colour from the rainbow spectrum or a mixture of them and then absorb the rest of the light rays. Black things do not reflect any light and so appear black. This is also why black this tend to become warm or hot when it is sunny. They transfer all the light energy they absorb into thermal energy.Because it absorbs all visible lightBecause they absorb all colors.
What happens to the light rays as they hit the mirror?
They are reflected at the angle of incidence.
Why the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection?
Because light alway bounces of an object at the same angle that it hit the object
