Albedo is the term used to measure the reflectivity of an object.
However, be careful how you use the value. It has two components: Specular, which is mirror-like in its reflection, such as from sunlight striking the surface of a body of water at an acute angle; and diffuse, basically surface absorption and re-radiation in all directions, typically the largest component of the energy reflected from sunlight striking cloud cover.

Which term is used to describe objects that are visible because of reflected light?
Yes the light reflects off an object and then into your eye, you eye then turns that image the right way round, really we see things upside down :) Yes the light reflects off an object and then into your eye, you eye then turns that image the right way round, really we see things upside down :)
