Reflectivity isn't a property of light, it's a property of the surface that reflects the light. It is the proportion of the energy in an incoming light beam which when it hits the surface is reflected rather than absorbed.

Is a light bulb an example of reflection or refraction?
It is refraction
What is the difference between refraction and reflection?
the difference between refraction and reflection is that in refraction light bends and in reflection it is reflected
One difference between reflection and refraction of light waves is that?
reflection is when light its something like a mirror and refraction is light going through something solid that is not like a mirror when light falls on a surface and bounces back, it is reflection and when light is absorbed by the surface or passes through the surface but does not bounces back, it is refraction.
Is there a distinction between light reflection and light refraction?
When a ray of light strikes an obstacle it changes its path this is called reflection of light whereas the bending of light ray while traveling from one medium to other is called refraction.
What is mirage due to total internal reflection?
refraction of light
What is reflection and refraction light?
Reflection of light is the bending of light from its point. while refraction is the diverging of light from its bearing.
Is a light bulb an example of reflection or refraction?
It is refraction
What is the bending of light from one medium to another?
It is called refraction, but some material bounces off the light and it is called reflection.
What is the difference between refraction and reflection?
the difference between refraction and reflection is that in refraction light bends and in reflection it is reflected
What is the meaning of reflection and refraction?
Reflection is a change of the angle of light without a change of medium. Refraction is a change of the angle of light with a change of medium.
What are the similarities of reflection and refraction?
REFLECTION: IF a light ray in incident on a surface if it bring back to same medium is called reflection REFRACTION: IF a light ray in incident on a surface and going to another medium is called reflection and there is a a law for refraction that is SNELL'S LAW
What is the difference between refraction and reflection.?
Reflection is for the light rays to bounce, and refraction is for the light rays to bend. maybe not equally, but enough to bend or bounce.
What the difference is between reflection and refraction?
Reflection is for the light rays to bounce, and refraction is for the light rays to bend. maybe not equally, but enough to bend or bounce.
What is the difference between reflection and refraction?
Reflection is for the light rays to bounce, and refraction is for the light rays to bend. maybe not equally, but enough to bend or bounce.
What is the differnce between refraction and reflection?
reflection is when it is reflected; it bounces of the surface while refraction is when it is bent but not reflected
What is the opposite of reflection?
Absorb.Absorb.Reflecting is when something (e.g. light) bounces off an object; abosrbing is when it is taken into it.
