Reflects light : Non-luminous (Ex. Moon)
Transmits Light : Luminous (Ex. Sun)
I hope you got it!

A mirror reflects light by bouncing it off its smooth surface. A window both reflects and transmits light, allowing some light to pass through while reflecting some back.
The color of an object has to do with the waves of (visible) light that it reflects. When light hits an object some is absorbed and some reflects, e.g. white is white because all the colours are reflected back; black is black because none of the colours are reflected, red is red because only red reflects from the object. Plants are green because the chlorophyll reflects the colour green, making them appear green to us.
No, red glass does not only reflect and transmit red light waves. It actually transmits the white light waves through the red glass creating a red glow. A transparent object generally transmits light while a solid object reflects light.
No, the color of an object is the color of light that it reflects, not the color it absorbs. When light shines on an object, the object absorbs some colors and reflects others. The reflected colors are what we see.
An opaque object has a particular color because it absorbs certain wavelengths of light and reflects others. The reflected light is what we perceive as the object's color.

An object that reflects green and red light would be some shade of yellow or orange, depending on the proportions.

An object is opaque when it absorbs or reflects light, and does not transmit the light through itself. And object is transparent or translucent if it transmits some or all of the light through itself.
The light wave could be absorbed by the object, in which case its energy is converted to heat. The light wave could be reflected by the object. And the light wave could be transmitted by the object. ...
A translucent material transmits some light while diffusing it, allowing some light to pass through but scattering it in different directions. This results in partial visibility through the material, as it both transmits and blocks some light.
reflects back to our eyes. When light hits an object, some wavelengths are absorbed and some are reflected. The wavelengths that are reflected determine the color we see.
White reflects all colors of light equally, which is why it appears white to the human eye. When white light hits an object, the object absorbs some colors and reflects others, with white reflecting them all.
