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.

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 material reflects most incident light?

Materials with a high reflective index, such as polished metals like silver or aluminum, reflect the most incident light. Additionally, materials with a smooth and shiny surface tend to reflect light more effectively than rough or matte surfaces.


The fraction of incident light that a body reflects is known as its?

" albedo "


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).


The color that reflects the most amount of light resulting in a light value.?

Yellow is the color that reflects the most amount of light, resulting in a light value.


Does the moon absorbs the light from the sun?

Just like any other dark grey object, the moon absorbs most of the sunlight incident on it, and reflects the rest.


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 color of the rainbow reflects the most light?

A rainbow is composed of light. Light does not reflect light.


Why does an object appear charcoal?

An object appears charcoal when it has absorbed most of the incident light and reflects very little back to our eyes. This lack of reflected light makes the object appear dark and nearly black in color.


What color will reflect the most light?

White reflects the most light as it reflects all visible wavelengths of light effectively, while black absorbs all wavelengths.


Light cannot be reflected by shiny materials?

Most of the materials that are shiny is because almost all the incident light is reflected back. Aluminum foil shines more than a sheet of lead because aluminum has less rigid area on its outer surface reflecting light effectively. Opaque glass slab also reflects almost all of the incident light.
