Yes.

answ2. A very shiny black object will not necessarily reflect much light at all.

For a surface to be highly reflective, the surface must be smooth compared with the wavelength concerned. Preferably less than 1/20 of a wavelength.

A white card will reflect all the light that falls on it, but not coherently - it will not act as a mirror.

What object reflects light?

The best things to use are metallic and shiny due to the way light bounces of the object.


How does light interact with shiny metal?

It reflects the light, that is how the surface seems shiny.When light hits a shiny surface it is reflected and is sometimes bent.


What two things do you need to produce a reflection?

To produce a reflection, you need an object that reflects light and a surface on which the reflection can occur. The object reflects light rays, and these rays bounce off the surface, resulting in a reflected image.


Is shiny a color?

How shiny a object is defines how much light it reflects, it is not a definition of a color. Shiny is also a ablum by The Bang.


When light is reflected?

light is reflected when it falls on some object. every object has the ability to reflect light.


How is a reflection formed?

a reflection is formed when rays of light bounces off an object onto a smooth shiny surface (such that light rays are reflected off at the same angles) and reflects off it into our eyes.when the surface is rough there wouldn't be a reflection as lights rays from an object is reflected off the rough surface at different angles and does not enter our eyes


The amount of light reflected by an object depends on the of that object?

The amount of light reflected by an object depends on the surface properties of that object, such as its texture, color, and reflectivity. Objects that are smooth and shiny tend to reflect more light, while objects that are rough and matte tend to absorb more light.


What is the term for how shiny or dull an object appears?

The term you're looking for is "luster." It refers to how light reflects off the surface of an object, giving it a shiny or dull appearance.


What is The shiny appearance of metal called?

Luster- how light reflects of an object (usually a mineral).


What kind of mineral reflects light?

I think your question needs to be more specific, because everything visible, reflects light. If an object reflected no light, it would be invisible to us. Did you mean to ask which minerals are metallic and shiny, or which are transparent and able to be cut and faceted, like gems?


How shiny or dull an object is?

The shininess or dullness of an object is determined by how well it reflects light. Shiny objects have a smooth surface that reflects light uniformly, whereas dull objects have a rough surface that scatters light in different directions, appearing less reflective. Materials like metal tend to be shiny, whereas surfaces like fabric or paper tend to be dull.
