Anything shiny, such as
jewelry
silverware
and glitter.
Technically, everything reflects light because if nothing did, you couldn't see anything. But basically anything that is shiny "reflects" light.

Which surface are light rays reflected?
Any opaque or translucent surface will reflect light rays. The rays that are reflected are the one that you see- something blue would reflect blue light. IF the object is Opaque the rest of the light is absorbed. If it is translucent some light is absorbed while some passes through. Black objects absorb all colours of light while white objects reflects all colours of light. There are also some special objects such as mirrors that are highly reflective a produce an image by reflecting back the rays of light emitted from other objects.
Why do light coloured objects reflect radiation more than dark coloured objects?
Because dark colours absorbs light, and energy;and its named absortion coefficient. ============================== Some substances and objects made from them reflect more light and absorb less. Other substances and objects made from them reflect less light and absorb more. The ones that reflect more and absorb less are the ones that appear lighter to us. Why ? Because they absorb less light and reflect more of it toward our eyes.
What are flat MIRRORS used for and what do they do?
Flat mirrors are the commonest type, and provide a reflection of the subject. Useful for shaving in and for checking my clothes. They just reflect the light that falls on them. An interesting experiment you can do is to get a couple of flat mirrors and erect them at 90o to each other. If you look in these, you will see a reflection of you that is as other folk see you. The best version of this uses frameless mirrors.
What colour will an object under white light appear to be if it reflects green light and absorbs the other colours?
Green because you only perceive colors of objects by the colors of light they reflect into your eye.
How do you know that most objects reflect more than on colour of light?
You can diffract the light reflect from the object and see what range of spectrum is absorbed and what is reflected. It is to mentioned, human had trichromatic vision. We base our vision of colour from the portion of red blue and green. The real colour in spectrum is however continue of colour from red to violet. By having only 1 colour of light reflect, the object had to specifically absorb exact the other 2 portion of light human can see which is extremely rare for natural objects without specific design to absorb light at exactly cover the other 2 spectrum human can see. So it is most objects would reflect more than one colour of light.
What do mirrors and other objects do pertaining to light?
Mirrors and other objects reflect light, though most objects absorb some wave lengths and reflect others and black absorbs all wavelengths and white reflects all wavelengths.
How do rear view mirrors work?
Like any other mirror-they just reflect objects.
Would rather reflect than refract light?
Mirrors and other shiny surfaces.

What object in the solar system gives off its own heat and light?
The sun. All other objects reflect heat and light from the sun.
Why are you unable to see non- luminous objects in a dark box?
Because light can't directly reach the objects, or reflect well off the inside walls of the box. So not enough light bounces off the walls, then bounces off the objects, and then goes to your eyes.

What are some things that reflects light?
Light reflects off mirrors and glass objects
Can mirrors cameras telescope and eye glasses refract light?
Mirrors don't refract, they reflect. All lenses, on the other hand, refract (bend) the light. All cameras have lenses, to focus the image; same for eyeglasses. Some telescopes have lenses, but others are collections of mirrors. Note that some few optical elements are lenses and mirrors - like prescription sunglasses with mirror coating.
