When light reflects, on an object it bounces off of the object and you can see the object much more clearly.
Any object you can see reflects light. If it did not reflect any light it would be invisible. Similarly, no object is so reflective that it reflects all light. The proof that it absorbs light is that it increses in temperature as it is exposed to light.
Believe it or not, the object will appear black! Here's why. An object is red because it absorbs all wavelengths of light except red. It reflects the red back to our eyes, so that's what color we perceive. If you, then, have no other light source and shine purely blue light on a red object, the object will absorb the blue light and you won't get any light reflected at all. In other words, black.
...reflected off of it. For example, leaves appear green as their pigment (chlorophyll) only reflects the wavelength of green light.
sun (a luminous object) emits its own light and the moon ( a non luminous object ) reflects the light from the sun to earth that's how we can see the moon. The same way gold is a non luminous object.

1) what objects reflects light?_______________________________ mirror
An object that absorbs all light appears black because it absorbs all colors of light equally. An object that reflects all light appears white because it reflects all colors of light equally.
The process of light reflecting off an object is called reflection. This occurs when light waves bounce off the surface of the object without being absorbed.
A mirror is an object that reflects light by bouncing it back in a predictable manner.
The color of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light that it reflects and absorbs. An object appears a certain color because it reflects that color of light while absorbing other colors. For example, a red object appears red because it reflects red light and absorbs other colors.
A visible object.
The light the object reflects.
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.
The name of the amount of light an object reflects relative to its surroundings is "albedo." A higher albedo value indicates that an object reflects more light, while a lower albedo value means that it absorbs more light.
In white light, the white object reflects all colors of light and absorbs very little. This is why the object appears white to our eyes.
