What is the difference between the way black and white surfaces affect light?
White surfaces reflect light and heat. Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.White surfaces reflect light and heat.

Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.
Why dull black surface heats up more quickly than bright shiny surfaces?
The shinier the object, the more heat will reflect off of it. For example, a black carwill heat up much faster as the dull black will absorb the heat, while a shiny coloured car will reflect the heat molocules off.
Why are white shiny surfaces suitable for a fridge or freezer?
because it wont get too hot, it will reflect heat.
Why does light reflect best on flat and shiny surfaces?
because the light bounces off the flat and shiny surfaces.
What type of surface reflect heat?
light and smooth surfaces reflect heat energy
Why does shiny surfaces absorbe more energy then dull surfaces?
Because, shiny surfaces reflect heat, they don't emit much heat and they don't absorb much heat!

How does tinfoil reflect sunlight?
Things with shiny surfaces reflect light :)
Why does light reflect best on flat and shiny surfaces?
because the light bounces off the flat and shiny surfaces.
What type of surface reflect heat?
light and smooth surfaces reflect heat energy
Why are shiny outer surfaces needed in a vacuum flask?
The outer surfaces do not need to be shiny. The interior ones do, to reflect heat back rather than let the heat pass out of the vacuum flask. The vacuum between the double walls of the flask also reduces heat loss.
What type of surfaces are good radiators of heat?
Dull black surfaces they are also best at absorbing it as well. [Shiny and silvery or white surfaces are poor radiators and absorbers of heat. However they are very good in reflecting heat radiation.]
Is it true that shiny materials absorb radiant energy?
I believe that shiny surfaces reflect radiant energy.
Would rather reflect than refract light?
Mirrors and other shiny surfaces.
Why dark surfaces are good absorbers of heat and shiny surfaces are poor absorbers of heat?
If you are talking in terms of the suns heat being absorbed by the surfaces then I have the answer. Shiny surfaces naturally deflect the suns rays where as dark surfaces are easy conductors of heat as they naturally catch the suns rays. You will notice with leather or print on a shirt that it gets hot because the rays have nowhere to go. A shiny surface will just deflect it back.
