Is this statement true or false a piece of glass reflects more light than a piece of paper?
Because the grass is smoother and shinier.
Do diamonds reflect like glass?
A diamond reflects light more intensely and with more dazzle than glass, because of the facets in the diamond stone.
Why does paper reflect light?
White reflects more light than any other colour, while black absorbs more light than any other color. To get technical, photons that are not absorbed by the paper will bounce off (be reflected by) the paper and make it appear lighter or white. Short answer: because most paper is white.
Why is it that a sheet of white paper is a good reflector of light?
That's the definition of "white" - that it reflects a large percentage of the incoming light (all colors get reflected by more or less the same percentage).
Which reflects more light a black shirt or a white one?
A white shirt reflects light while a black one absorbs it.

Why black paper give out heat best?
Colour depends on what light something absorbs and reflects, white paper reflects all light so its white, and black absorbs all, thus, absorbing more light, and transmitting infra red waves

What reflects light better glass or diamond?
It is the refraction of light from cut, polished and faceted diamonds, not their reflection of light that makes them more beautifully glittery than cut, polished and faceted glass. The carbon molecules are much more tightly packed in diamonds than are the silicone molecules in glass, giving diamonds this astonishing refractive quality
How does a window reflect light?
A window reflects light because light, which is a wave, travels slower in glass than in air. It travels at about 2/3 the speed in glass as it does in air. Also light travels at about 3/4 the speed in water as it does in air and so that is the reason light reflects off the surface of water. The greater the difference in speed between the two mediums, the more light is reflected at the surface boundary. An amazing experiment is to submerge glass in a transparent liquid that has the same "index of refraction". The 'index of refraction" of a substance is simply the measure of the speed with which light travels in the substance. If you submerge the glass, and the speed of light is the same in the liquid as in the glass, the glass seems to disappear. The reason is seems to disappear is because light is no longer reflected off the surface of the glass, and if you think about it, that is the only reason that you can see a glass in the first place.
What is the difference between glass paper and sand paper?
Glass paper is made of glass and is more rough and sandpaper is made of sand which is less rough

What happen when light reflects?
When light reflects, on an object it bounces off of the object and you can see the object much more clearly.
Which reflects more light a black shirt or a white one?
A white shirt reflects light while a black one absorbs it.
Which reflects light more silver or gold?
Silveer
What is bright?
the brightness of an object is the amount of light it reflects, the more it reflects the brighter it will be. Or the object could be giving out light, a vehicle head light for example
