The three reactions that can occur when energy encounters an object are

1)Absorption

2)Transmission

3)Reflection

When there is any energy that encounters the object there are 3 types of reactions taking place. they are absorption reaction transmission reaction and reflection reaction, however they might go by different names the concept is exactly the same.

Absorption reaction is when the energy is passing through the object or body. Transmission rection is when basically the energy is absorbed by the body and transformed or converted into other form of energy is called transmission reaction. Reflection reaction is simply when the energy bounces back after colliding with the body.
