It must either reflect light, as in the case of the Moon under ordinary circumstances, or block light, as in the case of the Moon during a solar eclipse.

Of course in everyday life, almost everything we see on Earth is seen by reflected light.

PS: in reality, every object with a temperature above absolute zero, in other words, every object, emits light in the form of infrared radiation. We just can't see it without instruments or special cameras.

What happens to visible light when it strikes an object?

When visible light strikes an object, it can be absorbed, transmitted, or reflected. The color of the object is determined by which wavelengths of visible light are reflected back to our eyes. Objects that appear white reflect most of the visible light, while objects that appear black absorb most of the visible light.

Effect of assigning one object reference variable to another object reference variable?

In that case, both variables will point to the same object. Changes done through one object reference will also be visible if you access the object through the other object reference.In that case, both variables will point to the same object.

What must light do so that you can see something?

When light falls on some object, then it absorbs all the colors of visible light spectrum except the color of the object itself which it reflects back (diffusion). So we see the color of the object .
