What else can I help you with?
What do you called a material that reflects and absorb any light that strikes its surface?
A material that reflects and absorbs all light that strikes its surface is called a perfect absorber, or a blackbody. It absorbs all incident light and reflects none, resulting in a black appearance.
How incident ray are refracted by a convex mirror?
A convex mirror does not refract light; it reflects it. When an incident ray strikes a convex mirror, it reflects back in a way that obeys the law of reflection—angle of incidence equals angle of reflection. This creates a virtual image that appears behind the mirror.
What reflects most incident light?
Smooth, shiny surfaces like mirrors, glass, and polished metals reflect the most incident light due to their high level of reflectivity. Rough or matte surfaces tend to scatter or absorb more light.
What phenomenon occurs when a light beam is incident on a mirror?
When a light beam is incident on a mirror, reflection occurs. The mirror surface reflects the light beam back in a predictable manner, following the law of reflection, where the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
What is the ray of light hitting a mirror called?
The ray of light hitting a mirror is called an incident ray. It represents the path that light takes before it reflects off the mirror's surface.
What is the correct definition of albedo?
The fraction of incident radiation reflected by a surface. -ie, how brightly something reflects a light. -usually referring to stars etc.
Does a solution that reflects white light absorb all wave lengths?
If it absorbs all wavelengths then, by definition, it does not reflect any of the incident light. If it reflects all the incident light, then non is absorbed. The solution could also absorb some and reflect some (with different wavelengths).

Which colour refracts the most?
Violet reflects the most light energy because it absorbs the most light energy. The amount of energy that is absorbed and captured by the pigment of shorter wavelengths is also used to do work or "energy".
What is the fraction if solar radiation that is reflect off a particular surface called?
There is no special name. The fraction of sunlight which is reflected will be different from the fraction of other light. The reflectivity of a surface varies with the wavelength of the incident light.
What reflects most incident light?
Smooth, shiny surfaces like mirrors, glass, and polished metals reflect the most incident light due to their high level of reflectivity. Rough or matte surfaces tend to scatter or absorb more light.

What is the fraction of total radiation that is reflected by any surface called?
It is the reflectivity of the surface. However, it is important to note that the reflected fraction depends on the wavelength of the incident light.
What is an albedometer?
An albedometer is an instrument used to measure the albedo - the fraction of incident light or radiation reflected by a body - of a surface.
Why is a red shirt black when it is dark?
A shirt appears red because it reflects red wavelengths from light which falls on it. If it is dark then there is no incident light and so red light for the shirt to reflect to your eyes.
