Some objects are reflective because their surface allows light to bounce off rather than being absorbed. Smooth and shiny surfaces, like mirrors, reflect light well because the photons are not able to penetrate the material and are instead reflected back in a predictable manner. This reflection creates the appearance of the object being reflective.

What happens when an objects is in the path of lights?
When an object is in the path of light, it can either absorb, reflect, or transmit the light. The specific interaction depends on the properties of the object and the wavelength of the light. For example, opaque objects absorb light, transparent objects transmit light, and reflective objects bounce light off their surface.
What the objects are called that don't reflect light?
Objects that don't reflect light are called non-reflective or light-absorbing. These objects appear dark because they absorb most of the light that reaches them, instead of reflecting it. Examples include black velvet, asphalt, and some types of paints.
What kind of object that absorb light?
All objects do. There is none that does not absorb any.
Why do some objects appear to blue to us while others appear red?
The color we perceive depends on the object's ability to absorb and reflect light. Objects that appear blue absorb most colors of light and reflect blue light. Objects that appear red absorb most colors of light except red, which is reflected. This selective absorption of light by objects causes us to perceive them as blue or red.
What are some examples of reflective objects?
Some examples of reflective objects include mirrors, glass windows, polished metal surfaces, and water surfaces on a calm day.

Why are objects visible?
Because they still absorb and scatter some light.
Why tranparent objects are visible?
Because they still absorb and scatter some light.

Why do light coloured objects reflect radiation more than dark coloured objects?
Because dark colours absorbs light, and energy;and its named absortion coefficient. ============================== Some substances and objects made from them reflect more light and absorb less. Other substances and objects made from them reflect less light and absorb more. The ones that reflect more and absorb less are the ones that appear lighter to us. Why ? Because they absorb less light and reflect more of it toward our eyes.
Can light be absorbed by any object?
Yes, all objects have the capacity to absorb light to some extent. The amount of light absorbed depends on the object's material composition and properties. Some objects may reflect or transmit light more effectively than others.
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 objects absorb all colors of light except for the color that it appears to be?
No, objects absorb some colors of light and reflect others. The color that an object appears to be is the color of light that it reflects. For example, a red apple looks red because it absorbs all colors of light except for red, which it reflects.
Why do objects have different colors?
Objects have different colors because of the way they reflect and absorb light. When light shines on an object, it absorbs some colors and reflects others, which determines the color we see.
