Yes.
Yes water reflects light.
Water can both refract and reflect light. When light travels from one medium to another in water, it bends due to the change in speed, which is known as refraction. Additionally, light can also reflect off the surface of water, creating a reflection.
Plants and trees absorb light during photosynthesis to create energy. Black surfaces absorb light because they do not reflect it. Oceans and lakes absorb sunlight, warming up the water.
Yes, the sky can reflect off of calm water surfaces like lakes, oceans, and ponds. This reflection creates a beautiful mirror-like effect where the colors of the sky are mirrored on the water's surface.
Water surface glass
Mirrors reflect light by bouncing it off their smooth surfaces. Water reflects light, especially when the surface is calm and acts like a mirror. Glass windows reflect light depending on the angle of incidence.
The oceans appear blue because water molecules absorb colors in the red part of the light spectrum, while reflecting and scattering blue light. This gives the oceans their characteristic blue color.
Water can both reflect and absorb light. When light strikes the surface of water at an angle, some of it can be reflected off the surface due to the difference in refractive indices. However, water can also absorb certain wavelengths of light, which is why the depth of water affects its color appearance.
Water can reflect light because of its smooth surface, which acts like a mirror. When light hits the surface, it bounces off at an angle equal to the angle at which it struck the water. Water can also refract light when it enters at an angle, causing it to change speed and direction as it moves through the water.
amsw2. A mirror, provided it is smooth to below the wavelength of light, will reflect the light in the same way you can see a water wave be reflected from a wall.

Water vapor itself is not able to reflect light, as it is a gas and does not possess reflective properties like a solid or liquid surface would. However, water vapor can interact with light by scattering it, which can lead to the formation of clouds, fog, or precipitation.
