Albedo is the fraction of solar energy (shortwave radiation) reflected from the Earth back into space.
The albedo of an object is a measure of how strongly it reflects light from light sources such as the sun. It is therefore a more specific form of the term reflectivity.

Why are mirrors backed with silver?
To avoid spoiling of mirror in rough handling The silver is the reflective surface - its what makes a mirror reflective.
What is the light ray that travels toward a reflective surface?
normal
How does reflective light allow us to see an object?
same way normal light does. it's just normal light bouncing off a reflective surface and onto another surface
Between a mirror and non reflective surface?
Ina mirror, the angles bounce off (reflect) in a 90 degrees angle- in straight lines. On a non- reflective surface, it reflects in any angle.
What characteristics or property proves that light is transverse wave?
Reflective Polarization from a surface.

What does a rock have to make it shiny?
It has a polished reflective surface.
What is matte surface?
