As most paper's surface is rough at microscopic levels therefore they do reflect the light but the light reflected y them is scattered over a large surface due to its rough texture.......As they do not reflect light in a particular direction like mirrors therefore they seems not to reflect the light.....
What else can I help you with?
What happens when red light shines onto green paper?
The green paper will absorb most of the red light and reflect or transmit very little of it. This is because the green pigment in the paper absorbs red light and reflects green light. Therefore, the red light will not be well reflected from the green paper, making it appear dark or black.
What happens when light shines on green paper?
When light shines on green paper, the paper absorbs most of the colors in the light spectrum but reflects green wavelengths back to our eyes. This is why we perceive the paper as green. The green color is determined by the pigment molecules in the paper that absorb all other colors except green.
Why does paper reflect light?
White reflects more light than any other colour, while black absorbs more light than any other color. To get technical, photons that are not absorbed by the paper will bounce off (be reflected by) the paper and make it appear lighter or white. Short answer: because most paper is white.
How does white paper reflects heat?
We see color based on the way objects reflect light. Different wavelengths of light are different colors, and the light that an object reflects is what we see. For example, a red ball reflects red light, and so we see the ball as red. Any light that the object doesn't reflect is absorbed, so the red ball would absorb all the light that isn't red. This light then turns into heat. In science, white is the absence of light, and so white objects reflect all light. This means that the object isn't absorbing any light, and so the object isn't absorbing any heat.
What is the difference between the way black and white surfaces affect light?
White surfaces reflect light and heat. Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.White surfaces reflect light and heat.

Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.
True or false-most paper does not reflect light very well because its sureface is somewhat rough?
Well, yes, if by "reflect very well" you mean "reflect like a mirror". White paper can have a fairly high albedo, though - referring to the percentage of light reflected.

What will be the color of a paper containing red pigment when yellow light shine on it?
The paper containing red pigment will appear red when yellow light shines on it. This is because red pigment absorbs most colors of light except red, which it reflects. So, the red pigment on the paper will reflect red light and appear red when illuminated by yellow light.

Does the color of paper effect the amount of heat it absorbs?
Yes some colors will take the light for itself and some color reflect the light! Black will absurb the most and brown is the least.

Does a marbel surface reflect light?
Unless it is jet black, yes. Most surfaces reflect some light.

What colors absorb the most light and which colors reflect the most light?
Black absorbs the most light and white reflects the most.
How do you make working model on street light?
Most objects do not give off their own light; it has to reflect light to be seen. Shine a laser onto a mirror and hold a piece of paper up in front of the mirror, watch how the rays bounce from the laser to the mirror and off onto the paper.
A student places four shirts outside on a sunny day which color shirt will reflect the most light?
The white shirt will reflect the most light because white objects reflect all wavelengths of light, whereas colored shirts absorb and reflect only certain wavelengths.
