It is the reflectivity of the surface. However, it is important to note that the reflected fraction depends on the wavelength of the incident light.

What is the fraction if solar radiation that is reflect off a particular surface called?
There is no special name. The fraction of sunlight which is reflected will be different from the fraction of other light. The reflectivity of a surface varies with the wavelength of the incident light.
What is the fraction of solar radiation that is reflected off a particular surface called?
There is no particular term. This is because the reflectivity of a surface varies across the electromagnetic spectrum so a surface which reflects a large proportion of blue wavelengths in sunlight may or may not reflect a similar proportion of red wavelengths.
What is a fraction inside a fraction called?
its called David Bartholomew 69420
What is a number called when it is a whole number with a fraction?
A number can be called either a mixed number or a mixed fraction when it is a whole number with a fraction.
When an improper fraction is written as a combination of a whole and a proper fraction what it is called?
It is called a mixed number or a mixed fraction.
What is the fraction of the total radiation encountered that is reflected by a surface called?
The fraction of total radiation reflected by a surface is known as its albedo. It is expressed as a value between 0 and 1, with higher values indicating greater reflectivity and lower values indicating lower reflectivity.
What is the fraction if solar radiation that is reflect off a particular surface called?
There is no special name. The fraction of sunlight which is reflected will be different from the fraction of other light. The reflectivity of a surface varies with the wavelength of the incident light.
What the fraction of radiation a surface can reflect is called?
Reflection
What fraction of solar radiation reflected by a surface is called?
this question needs to be stated more precisely. The solar fraction is a measurement of usage of the solar thermal energy by the solar thermal system installed.
What is the percentage of solar radiation reflected from a surface?
This is called the "albedo." It is the ratio of reflected light compared to incident light, and depends on the surface material and its condition (e.g. snow, grassland).
What is reflectivity of a surface called?
One term often used in Astronomy is the albedo. It refers to the percentage or fraction of incoming light that is reflected.
What is the reflectivity of a surface called?
The reflectivity of a surface is called its albedo. It is a measure of how much of the incoming radiation that hits a surface is reflected back without being absorbed. High-albedo surfaces reflect more light, while low-albedo surfaces absorb more light.
What is the fraction of solar radiation that is reflected off a particular surface called?
There is no particular term. This is because the reflectivity of a surface varies across the electromagnetic spectrum so a surface which reflects a large proportion of blue wavelengths in sunlight may or may not reflect a similar proportion of red wavelengths.
What is the name of the ray that represents the light reflected by the surface.?
The ray that represents the light reflected by a surface is called the reflected ray.
What is radiant energy reflected back by a surface called?
The radiant energy reflected back by a surface is called "reflection".
What term is used to describe incoming solar radiation?
25% is absorbed by clouds.25% is reflected by clouds.45% is absorbed by the earth's surface.5% is reflected by the earth's surface.So 50% reaches the surface of the earth (But 5% of that is reflected).
Some of the light doesn't reach the surface is reflected upwards and the rest is absorbed causind the ground to warm what is the name of this special light?
That light is called infared radiation =)
