  at the red light junction my car kanna bang from behind. because the van in front suddenly stop after the light turn green. i manage to stop in time. but behind the car cannot and banged me. i can feel the jerk.
  
  then we stop at one side and inspect the car, i found the rear surface no dents or any thing. just like normal.
  then i let it off lor since i cannot see any damage on my rear bumper...
  
  but then... will there be like any internal damage that we cannot see?

  should not have any damage as the impact is not great. In most situation the bumper will be the first to give way if the impact is big.

  Your rear got banged huh? Just one bang, or gangbang?
  
  Bumpers are made of some kind of fibreglass which can "bounce" in and out. This buckling feature is what protects you (and the rest of the car) from full impact.
  
  Just shake your bumper...if its still tight, then everything's OK lah. If not, just to go the workshop and re-secure the bumper.
  
  The only crucial thing at the back of the car I can think of its the fuel tank, but thats very very well-protected (takes a lot more than a small bang to affect it).

  Unlikely. Most modern day car bumpers are designed to protect the chasis, unlike the old ones which were designed to protect against crashes.
  
  However, if your rear bumper got bumped in, the ceramic paint has most likely cracked. Depending on how fussy you are it can be quite an eye sore as your paint degrades over time.
  
  of course, unless your bumper dosen't have paint on it. Of which I then rest my case.
