Does light reflect off the surface of metal?
It reflects off the surface of shiny and smooth metals.
When can light be detected?
when it reflects off a surface like a mirror or a prism(the prism reflects, absorbs, and retracts light)
Why does light shine off a silver brooch in bright sunlight?
The light reflects off the smooth surface
What is it called when light reflects off the surface of a metal?
i don't think that it has a special name , i think it just reflects the light . however if heat reflects on a shiny surface this is called reflective radiation. hope this helps *)

Differentiate regular reflection from diffuse reflection?
Regular Reflection= Happens when light reflects off a smooth surface. Diffuse Reflection= Happens when light reflects off a rough surface. Reflection= The bouncing of waves, off a surface or and object

When light reflects off a rough surface it travels together in a different direction True or False?
True. When light reflects off a rough surface, the reflection is diffuse, meaning the light rays scatter in different directions. This is in contrast to a smooth surface where the reflection is more specular, and the light rays travel in a predictable direction.
