Colourless or White

[Alfredo]

Hi All,

 

An object appears white because it reflects all the wavelength of visible light while another object appears transparent because it allows all wavelengths of the light to pass through it. In both cases, no absorption of visible light occurs, hence under what circumstances would an object reflect all the wavelengths of light instead allowing them to pass through it?

It depends on the composition of the material.
