When light strikes a convex mirror, it reflects off the surface and diverges outwards. This causes the light rays to spread apart, creating a virtual image that appears smaller and upright when compared to the object. The focal point for a convex mirror is behind the mirror itself.
A convex mirror is most similar to a diverging lens. Both surfaces curve outward and cause light rays to diverge.
When light strikes a convex lens, the light beam converges to a point called the focal point. This is due to the lens refracting or bending the light rays towards a central point. The distance from the lens to the focal point is called the focal length.
Light can be refracted, reflected, or dispersed when it strikes different types of lenses and mirrors. Convex lenses converge light rays to a focal point, while concave lenses diverge light. Concave and convex mirrors reflect light in different ways: convex mirrors diverge light, creating a virtual image, while concave mirrors can converge light, creating a real image.
When light energy strikes a leaf, some of it is absorbed by pigments in the leaf for photosynthesis, some is reflected, and some is transmitted through the leaf. The absorbed light energy is converted into chemical energy by the leaf for use in metabolic processes.
If light strikes cardboard, the cardboard will absorb some of the light and reflect the rest. The color and thickness of the cardboard will affect how much light is absorbed or reflected.

When light strikes a chlorophyll molecule, electrons in the chloroplast get excited.
light bends when it hits the lens....this is called refraction

It gets absorbed or reflected
The light is absorbed and change to tiny amount of heat

The light waves can be reflected, absorbed, they can pass the object or be refracted.,
A convex mirror does not refract light; it reflects it. When an incident ray strikes a convex mirror, it reflects back in a way that obeys the law of reflection—angle of incidence equals angle of reflection. This creates a virtual image that appears behind the mirror.
