Source light is light coming directly from a light source/emitter (i.e. a light bulb, the sun, stars, etc.).
Reflected light is light coming indirectly from the light source/emitter. That could be reflected, refracted light, etc.
A parabolic reflector typically refers to a curved surface that reflects or focuses light, sound, or radio waves to a specific point. A parabolic dish specifically refers to a type of parabolic reflector commonly used to collect or reflect electromagnetic waves, such as in satellite dishes. While they are both parabolic in shape, a parabolic dish is a specialized form of a parabolic reflector designed for a specific purpose.
A traffic light is a light source as it emits light to signal drivers when to stop, slow down, or go.
i think it is a reflector of light as we are able to see a leaf in the presence of light, it means when light bounces back into our eye, we can see it otherwise we would not be able to see it. however it is not a good reflector of light, but a poor reflector of light.
A reflector with a smooth surface is typically known as a specular reflector. This type of reflector reflects light in a single, predictable direction without scattering or diffusing it.
A reflector only reflects light from some light-source such as an on-coming car's headlight, whereas a real light actually casts light. Without headlights, bicycle operators are invisible to pedestrians at night when no car is coming, and of course, they cannot see the road surface and so risk death or serious injury. Only an antisocial moron - or a drunk - would operate any vehicle at night with no headlight.
A refractor telescope uses lenses to gather and focus light, while a reflector telescope uses mirrors to collect and concentrate light. Refractor telescopes tend to be more expensive and have less light-gathering capability compared to reflector telescopes. Refractors are also generally easier to maintain and have a sealed tube, making them less affected by dust or dirt.
A light source generates and emits its own light. A reflector reflects light (i.e. light bounces off of it) from another source. Examples of light sources: The sun, the stars, a lightbulb, a flame, a red-hot piece of metal. Examples of reflectors: The moon, the planets, the ground lit by the sun.

Yes, drywall is a light reflector.
A black reflector creates shadows by blocking light.

A reflector is like a clever mirror, it doesn't shine by its own but will cause any light that hits it to bounce back in the direction that it came from. A headlight is a light, if you have it on it will shine by itself. Reflectors are great for being seen by people who are shining a light in your direction while lights can be seen by anyone looking.
which is a better reflector of light-a black surface or a white surface
To fold a light reflector, start by collapsing the frame inwards. Then, fold the reflector material in a zigzag pattern to fit within the frame. Finally, secure the folded reflector with any straps or clips provided.

The moon is both a partial reflector and a partial absorber of light.The only thing it's NOT is a source of light.
