  Does a candle or a black body really reflect light.

    Candle fire does reflect light, that’s why it has a shadow.

    Yes. The flame is a cloud of gas and particulate heated to the point that it glows. It will reflect light. Just not a lot, and it’s also emitting enough light to overpower any reflected light in most conditions.

    And of course the candle itself reflects light.

      It doesn’t need to reflect any light though.
