Materials such as polished metals (like silver or aluminum), mirrors, and glass are good at reflecting light due to their smooth and shiny surfaces. These materials bounce light off their surfaces with minimal absorption, resulting in high reflectivity.
No, reflective materials require light in order to reflect. Without light, the reflective material will not be able to bounce light off its surface and appear reflective.
The property of matter that allows it to reflect light is called reflectivity. Reflectivity refers to how well a material reflects light and is determined by the material's surface texture and composition. Materials with smooth and shiny surfaces, like metals and glass, tend to have high reflectivity.
Wood typically does not reflect light as well as smooth, shiny surfaces like glass or metal do. Instead, light hitting wood is more likely to be absorbed or scattered due to the rough and porous nature of the material.
Dark colors, especially flat black do not reflect light well. Carbon Nanotubes are considered the worst for reflecting light.
Materials that do not reflect light well are known as non-reflective or absorptive materials. Some examples include black velvet, Vantablack (a material that absorbs almost all light), and black holes in space that absorb light due to their immense gravity.
Yes. very well
No, but they DO reflect light very well.

Mirrors and polished metal can reflect light well. There might be some more examples though.
Well, yes, if by "reflect very well" you mean "reflect like a mirror". White paper can have a fairly high albedo, though - referring to the percentage of light reflected.
A translucent one

Both mercury the metal and Mercury the planet reflect light quite well.
