What else can I help you with?
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
Do shiny surfaces emit infrared?
They could if they were a source of it. Say if you heated a shiny steel pan in the oven. However shiny objects typically reflect IR better that emitting it. Dark objects are better at absorbing and emitting IR.
Does a shiny penny reflect light?
yes. a penny can reflect light by cutting a hole in it.
Shiny objects that reflect light?
Metal has a metallic luster and is a conductor.
Does matte surface reflect more light than a shiny surface?
if they didn't you couldn't see them
What surfaces reflect light and which do not?
Surfaces that are smooth and shiny, such as mirrors and glass, reflect light. Surfaces that are rough and dull, such as fabric and paper, do not reflect light as effectively. Rough surfaces scatter light in different directions instead of reflecting it.
Do only shiny objects reflect light?
No, all objects reflect light to some degree, both shiny and non-shiny. Shiny objects tend to reflect more light due to their smooth and polished surfaces, while non-shiny objects may reflect less light and appear duller because of their rough or textured surfaces.
Is it true that shiny materials absorb radiant energy?
I believe that shiny surfaces reflect radiant energy.
Which surfaces don't reflect light?
Surfaces that do not reflect light well are typically rough or absorbent, such as black velvet or charcoal. These surfaces absorb most of the light that hits them, which is why they appear dark. Smooth and shiny surfaces, on the other hand, reflect light more efficiently.
What are the three things that reflect light?
Three things that can reflect light are mirrors, water surfaces, and shiny metal objects. Mirrors reflect light due to their smooth, polished surfaces, allowing for clear images. Water can reflect light, especially when calm, creating mirror-like surfaces that show the surrounding environment. Shiny metals, like silver or aluminum, reflect light effectively because of their smooth and reflective properties.
Would you expect a dull or shiny surface to be a better absorber?
A dull surface would be a better absorber of light because its rough texture allows for greater light absorption due to increased surface area and multiple reflections within the material. Shiny surfaces reflect more light and are therefore poorer absorbers.
Which objects other then mirrors reflect light?
Anything shiny, such asjewelrysilverwareand glitter.Technically, everything reflects light because if nothing did, you couldn't see anything. But basically anything that is shiny "reflects" light.
Would rather reflect than refract light?
Mirrors and other shiny surfaces.
What surfaces does light reflect off of?
Light can reflect off of smooth, shiny surfaces like mirrors, glass, and metal. It can also reflect off of rough surfaces, but in multiple directions, creating diffuse reflection.
What is a smooth shiny surface that is able to reflect light?
A mirror is a smooth, shiny surface that is able to reflect light.
What are shiny surfaces?
Shiny surfaces reflect light and appear smooth and glossy. They often have a polished or reflective finish that creates a mirror-like effect. Materials like metal, glass, and polished wood can have shiny surfaces.
What is the rule used to decide if something can reflect light?
The rule for determining if something can reflect light is that the surface must be smooth and shiny. Rough surfaces scatter light in all directions instead of reflecting it. Smooth and shiny surfaces allow light to bounce off at equal angles, creating a reflection.
