Three cases happen when a light wave strikes an object. Light waves can either be: absorbed, reflected or refracted. The differences are as follows:

a. Absorption - light stops at the object causing it to appear dark or opaque.
b. Reflection - this could happen either in a smooth or rough surface. On a smooth surface, for example mirror or glass, light bounces off the surface at angle equal to the incoming light wave. On a rough surface e.g. earth, light bounces at many angles because the surface is uneven.
c. Refraction - light goes through the object and bends at an angle. Typical thing you see when diamond  or water is struck by light.

Can two organisms with the same phenotype have different genotypes?
Annette [7]

Let's look BB and Bb

They both have the dominant trait which means they both have the same physical appearance (phenotype) , but while BB has both dominant and Bb has one dominant and one recessive that means that although Bb has the same phenotype as BB, it has a different genotype because it has a bit different genetic makeup
