The property of light bouncing off materials is called reflection. When light hits a material, it can either be reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through the material depending on the properties of the material and the angle of incidence of the light.
The property of light bouncing off a material is called reflection. Light rays reflect off the surface of a material at the same angle at which they strike it, following the law of reflection. The smoothness of the material's surface affects the angle of reflection.
The bouncing of light off a surface is called reflection. When a light wave is bent it is called refraction.
Reflecting?
It is called reflection when light changes direction as a result of bouncing off a surface like a mirror.
Light bouncing off a mirror is reflected. Reflection is when the light bounces off a shiny surface back to your eye while refraction is when the light changes direction when passing from one medium to another medium of different optical density.

You may be looking for reflection or refraction.Reflection is the phenomenon of light bouncing off an object; refraction is the phenomenon of light bouncing around inside a gemstone, for example, and then bouncing back to the eye of the beholder.

Reflectivity isn't a property of light, it's a property of the surface that reflects the light. It is the proportion of the energy in an incoming light beam which when it hits the surface is reflected rather than absorbed.
