  • Understanding Reflectivity: How Surfaces Interact with Light
    The property that reflects light is called reflectivity.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Reflection: The bouncing back of light when it strikes a surface.

    * Reflectivity: The measure of how much light is reflected from a surface. It's often expressed as a percentage.

    For example:

    * A mirror has very high reflectivity, reflecting almost all the light that hits it.

    * A black surface has very low reflectivity, absorbing most of the light that hits it.
