What does it mean for heat to be transferred by radiation?
Energy is transferred when molecules absorb electromagnetic waves.
What does a reflection mean?
A shape that can reflect most of the light back.
What waves have the most light waves?
Light wave is an electromagnetic wave, so light waves are a kind of wave. I don't understand what you mean by what waves have the most light waves. It's not possible to emit a combination of different kinds of waves (such mechanical, EM wave, sound wave) from a single source.
What does reflecting a shape mean?
A shape that can reflect most of the light back.
What does it mean for light to be coherent?
It means that all the parts of light are in phase - the crest of the waves for one photon coincide with the crests of the waves for another one.
What does it mean for heat to be transferred by radiation?
Energy is transferred when molecules absorb electromagnetic waves.
Is mirror reflected heat with light?
Not sure exactly what you mean? Mirrors can reflect heat. Heat is simply electromagnetic waves in the infrared part of the spectrum, mirrors can reflect them (some types better than others).
Do sound waves reflect in the same way as light waves?
The properties of waves are the same for all sorts of waves. If sound waves reflect it is called an echo. When light waves reflect it is simply called a reflection. Waves on the ocean can also reflect if they run into a cliff instead of a sandy beach. Reflected waves often cause what are called standing waves where waves travelling in opposite directions reinforce each other and cancel each other out. One point of the wave will hardly move and another point will move up and down double the distance it would if there is only one wave. This is very dangerous for boats. Light also can be made to create standing waves. In radio, antennas must be adjusted to get a Standing Wave Ratio of 1:1 so it works for electrical waves in a wire as well. In live concerts, standing waves can mean real trouble for the sound engineers trying to balance the reflected waves from the back of the hall or auditorium. It is often better to have such concerts outside to avoid such problems.
What does glinted mean?
give out or reflect small flashes of light

What does it mean when something absorbs light?
it means where an object doesn't reflect because it has absorbed the light.
Does satellites in space transfer light?
If by transfer you mean reflect then yes they do.
What does reflecting a shape mean?
A shape that can reflect most of the light back.
Can light waves always travel in staight lines?
You mean "can light waves travel in nonstraight lines?"? Yes, if they are diffracted or pass through different materials. Gravity can also affect light waves and curve them.
What do halobaterim feed on?
You mean Halobacterium. In short, they absorb light which provides energy
What does it mean for light to be coherent?
It means that all the parts of light are in phase - the crest of the waves for one photon coincide with the crests of the waves for another one.
