light and smooth surfaces reflect heat energy
All surfaces reflect light. However, only the smoothest surfaces reflect all light in one direction. These are shiny and include mirrors and metal. Some surfaces just reflect the light in all directions, which is why you cannot see the reflection.
Black surfaces absorb all light. White surfaces do not "reflect black" as there's no such thing as black light.
because the light bounces off the flat and shiny surfaces.

Things with shiny surfaces reflect light :)

Any smooth surface will reflect light. The better question is "How much light does each kind of smooth surface reflect?"
Unless it is jet black, yes. Most surfaces reflect some light.
Mirrors, Glass, and Water
Polished aluminum
smooth surface
A prism refracts light because it's a transparent element with flat, polished surfaces.
