What materials are poor reflectors?
A reflector is a, usually large, sheet of reflective material to reflect light into shadows of an object. Materials such as metals reflect light, whilst materials such as wood and paper do not.
Does light refract more when going through a thicker substance?
well three things happen when light strikes an object Refract Reflect absorb
Reflection in a window at night?
The image you see the the reflection of light from the object into your eyes. During the day time, light from the object incident and reflect to your eyes as well as light from the outside refract to your eyes. Therefore, you barely notice the image. At night, however, there is no source of light from the window outside. As a result, there is only light from the object(yourself) reflect back to your eyes. Hence, your image is visible on the window at night.
Does a rough surface reflect light in many directions?
Highly polished, shiny surfaces reflect light the best as they are REFLECTive. White or bright surfaces also reflect light well. Dull, Matt surfaces are the worst reflecters of light
What property of light allows eclipse to be formed?
Light travels in straight lines. When the light hits the object it is stopped but the light at the edges continues to travel in a straight line so there is a shadow.The shadow is not black because another property of light. It can be reflected . When it hits an object some light is reflected. If the object is not perfectly smooth the light is scattered when it reflects.Light is reflected more from light colored objects than darker objects. So in a well lit area where there are plenty of surfaces the shadow will be less dark.A further property of light is that it will slightly bend around the corners of sharp objects. So if you look carefully you will see that the edges of a shadow are sometimes blurred. Usually this property is observed in the physics lab.Blurred edges of a shadow are more likely to occur from multiple light sources making a superimposed shadow.
What objects reflect light well?
glass ,mirror
Why does shiny and light coloured objects reflect more light than rough and dark objects?
Well that is sort of the definition of "shiny" and "light"... The outer electrons in theses materials have the ability to send incoming photons back out.
Do shiny objects reflect light well?
Yes. very well
Objects that do not reflect light well?
Dark colors, especially flat black do not reflect light well. Carbon Nanotubes are considered the worst for reflecting light.
What objects do reflect light well?
reflect light well-normally shinysmooth pale colour objects: mirror, glass, shiny metal, tin foil...these objects favour a good image due to the reflection of light is regular do not reflect light well-usually rough, matt , dark colured objects: tree trunk, car wheel, dark carboard, brick, stone, dark opaque plastic... These objects diffuse the picture or do not giva a picture at all because reflected light is irregular.
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.
Why black colour absorb and radiate more heat?
The objects is black when no light reflect from it, hence, it absorb light very well. And at the same time, what can absorb light very well would radiate heat very well .

What can reflect light well?
Mirrors and polished metal can reflect light well. There might be some more examples though.
What are things that reflect light well?
Diamonds
Why doesn't mercury reflect to suns light?
Both mercury the metal and Mercury the planet reflect light quite well.
Does a black object get warmer in the sunlight than a white object?
Most of sunlight is in the visible range of the spectrum. A black object by definition absorbs all visible light, while a white object reflects all visible light. The black object absorbs most of the energy from sunlight, turning it into heat.
