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 *)
What is a shiny surface what reflects light?
It can be anything.
What is a flat shiny surface that reflects light?
It can be anything.
What happens to the light when it strikes a shiny surface?
It reflects
Does a shiny surface reflect less light than a matte surface?
False
How does the type of surface affect heating by radiation?
Dark matt surfaces absorb radiated heat much more easily than light-coloured shiny surfaces.
What surface is the best reflector of radiation?
Light, shiny surfaces are the best reflectors of radiation
What surface emits more radiation white shiny or silver shiny?
silver shiny
A shiny surface reflects less light than a matte surface?
A shiny surface reflects 'more' light than a matt surface.
How does light interact with shiny metal?
It reflects the light, that is how the surface seems shiny.When light hits a shiny surface it is reflected and is sometimes bent.

Why does a Matt surface in sunshine get hotter than a shiny surface?
Matt surfaces are better absorbers of thermal radiation than shiny surfaces, as the light "bounces" around on the Matt surface meaning more energy can be absorbed, compared to a shiny surface. A look at a cross section of a Matt surface may be helpful.
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.
