Can shadows be formed on shiny surfaces?
They couldn't shine AND have a shadow on them at the same time, as when something shines it is reflecting light. A shadow is an area where little/no light is reaching due to something between it and the light source.
Why do some material objects look shiny?
Some object appears to be shiny due to the wave nature of light. The bending of light (as it passes an object) causes the object to appear shiny due to its reflection.
What are good absorbers of light?
Darker colour indicate better absorption of light. Shiny surface is due to it reflect off the light. When the object to totally dark it is because it absorb all the light and transform to heat. You might want to proof it by placing black object and shiny object in the sun, wait few hour and see which object is hotter.
When light hits an object it is reflected a shiny object reflects more light then a dull object?
Yes.answ2. A very shiny black object will not necessarily reflect much light at all.For a surface to be highly reflective, the surface must be smooth compared with the wavelength concerned. Preferably less than 1/20 of a wavelength.A white card will reflect all the light that falls on it, but not coherently - it will not act as a mirror.
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 is the moon shines?
Moon cannot shine alone.When sun light fall on moon,moon reflect sunlight.That reflection shows the moon as a shiny object.

Is shiny an adjctive noun or a verb?

Is shiny a color?
How shiny a object is defines how much light it reflects, it is not a definition of a color. Shiny is also a ablum by The Bang.

What is the difference between Shadow and image?
A shadow does not show the details of the object whereas an image shows the exact details of the object.A shadow is formed due to blocking of light by an opaque object, while the image is formed due to reflection from an opaque, smooth and shiny surface.A shadow is always dark while the image shows true colors of the object.
What produce the sharpest reflection?
It is most likely silver or gold as their shiny and if light shines down,the reflection will be the sharpest Adapted from my brain LOL-_-

What happens when light falls on opaque objects?
"Black" means "no light". That's why a dark room looks black at niight.If an object really looks black, then you know that it must have absorbed any lightthat hit it, because there's none left to bounce from the object into your eyes.
What is The shiny appearance of metal called?
Luster- how light reflects of an object (usually a mineral).
