Explanation:
The four things that can happen to a light wave when it hits an objects are :
1. Reflection : The bouncing back of light when the light wave strikes on a surface is called reflection of light.
2. Refraction : The bending of light when the light wave moves from one medium to another.
3. Absorption : Absorption is the process in which the light wave do not reflect back. It stays inside the material.
4. Transmission : Transmission of light is the process in which light wave goes continuously straight.
Some other process that are shown by a light wave are polarization, scattering etc.
