Does light reflect off the surface of metal?
It reflects off the surface of shiny and smooth metals.
Name three materials that can reflect light?
Three materials that reflect light are glass, any shiny surface, and concrete.
Why does light reflect better off a mirror than a sheet of paper?
Paper absorbs the light, but the shiny surface of the mirror reflects it.
Why does a good absorber of radiant energy appear black?
In short, because they "don't reflect'." A matte surface isn't smooth; it has a surface that does not fully reflect light/radiation; the surface looks dull because there's little reflection. A smooth surface will reflect because it's smooth (glass-like) and will reflect or bounce light away from its surface. The surface looks shiny because of the reflection. The color of the surface matters because the darker the color, the more light/radiation is absorbed. Lighter colors reflect light; darker colors absorb light.
Why dull black surface heats up more quickly than bright shiny surfaces?
The shinier the object, the more heat will reflect off of it. For example, a black carwill heat up much faster as the dull black will absorb the heat, while a shiny coloured car will reflect the heat molocules off.
Does matte surface reflect more light than a shiny surface?
if they didn't you couldn't see them
A shiny surface reflects less light than a matte surface?
A shiny surface reflects 'more' light than a matt surface.
Why does a mirror reflect light so well?
Because it has a shiny & smooth surface which helps to reflect the light... Take an example of tree. A tree have a rough surface due to which light can be reflect. So All of this depends on the smoothness of surface.. :-)
What is matte surface?
A matte surface is non-reflective. It is the opposite of shiny.
What kind of surface of a metal can light reflect off of?
A smooth shiny surface.

Does a shiny surface reflects less than a matte surface?
False
Name three materials that can reflect light?

What do you add to paint to make matte finish?
The type of paint used for matte painting lies in the meaning of the word "matte". It is a type of paint that leaves a surface which does not reflect light to a great degree. In other words, it is not very shiny and is often more pleasant to look at for extended periods of times. Matte paint is very often used indoors, in homes and at offices.
Which emits the most infra red radiation matte silver surface or shiny black surface?
Matte (dull) and black surfaces emit infrared radiation at a faster rate than shiny and white surfaces.
Does a rough surface reflect light in many directions?
Highly polished, shiny surfaces reflect light the best as they are REFLECTive. White or bright surfaces also reflect light well. Dull, Matt surfaces are the worst reflecters of light
Why does light reflect better off a mirror than a sheet of paper?
Paper absorbs the light, but the shiny surface of the mirror reflects it.
