Do shiny materials reflect or absorb radiant energy?
The shiny materials are said to reflect most radiant energy. That's what gives them the quality of being shiny. Generally speaking, shiny materials are reflecting most of the light striking them, and this translates into the fact that shiny materials generally do not absorb radiant energy.
What is the bouncing back of a ray of light sound or heat when the ray hits the surface that it doesn't go through?
This phenomenon is known as reflection. When a ray of light, sound, or heat hits a surface and bounces back without penetrating the material, it undergoes reflection. Reflection occurs due to the change in medium or the angle at which the ray hits the surface.
How are incident ray reflected ray and normal related?
The angle between the incident ray and the normal is known to be angle of incidence The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is said to be angle of reflection By the law, the angle of incidence = angle of reflection
What are objects that reflect scatter or transmit light said to be?
Objects that reflect light are said to be "reflective", objects that scatter light are said to be "diffusive", and objects that transmit light are said to be "transparent" or "translucent".
Is a regular reflection the reflection of light from a rough surface?
with rough surface, the light hitting it will reflect incoherently, meaning it will be scattered in every direction and with smooth surfaces like ice or mirror the light will reflect coherently, all going in the same direction
Is shiny metal also said to be a mirror?
Yes, A shiny metal plate is also said to be a mirror because reflection occurs when light rays strike a shiny surface or a mirror. By: Aisha Ijaz

What do you call the bouncing of a waves from the surface?
reflectionWhen a wave bounces off a surface, it is said to have been reflected and the wave is called a reflection.reflectionWhen a wave bounces off a surface, it is said to have been reflected and the wave is called a reflection.

What does light rays bouncing off the surface of an object mean?
Scattering if it happens at random and said to be "reflection" if it is stream lined.
Is a shiny metal plate said to be a mirror?
yes or no
Shiny minerals are said to have a metallic?
Yes, shiny minerals have a metallic luster due to the way light is reflected off their surfaces. This luster is a physical property of minerals, indicating their metallic appearance. Examples of minerals with metallic luster include pyrite, galena, and hematite.
When a metal like silver loses its shiny appearance it is said to?
tarnish.
What is said about the way light reflects from the mirror?
Light reflects off a mirror at the same angle it hits the mirror, according to the law of reflection. This means that the angle of incidence (incoming light) is equal to the angle of reflection (reflected light) with respect to the normal (perpendicular line) of the mirror surface.
How are incident ray reflected ray and normal related?
The angle between the incident ray and the normal is known to be angle of incidence The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is said to be angle of reflection By the law, the angle of incidence = angle of reflection
Do coloured objects form coloured shadows?
Shadows are simply an area that does not get as much light as the areas around it. That being said, if the object is totally opaque (or you can't see through it), then the shadow will simply be darker (usually a shade of black) because of the lack of light. If the object is transparent, on the other hand, then what light does go through will tint the light that does find it's way through the object.
