In Florida, stucco is a popular material because of its breathability and its ability to reflect light.
The light-emitting diode, or LED, of devices like the iPhone are designed to reflect light outwards toward the user.
Dr Marinoni estimates that the combined effect of this crud could reduce the glaciers' ability to reflect light by 2-5% and increase the amount of melting by 12-34%.
The sloped ceiling of the living roof has a gold leaf inset that is designed to reflect natural light.

Gehry has said the translucent panels are positioned to reflect different colors and light patterns throughout the day.
JVC's approach is to use liquid crystals to block the polarized light that would normally reflect to the screen.
Here, plastics that are black to the eye actually reflect a reasonable amount of light, so it is possible to get a meaningful absorption spectrum.
In order for us to see an object, the object has to either emanate light or reflect light.

ENGADGET: Samsung announces E6 and E10 e-book readers at CES
But it is possible to detect minute deviations in this signal, and these fluctuations - seen as mottling in the map - are understood to reflect the differences in the density of matter when the light parted company and set out on its journey all those years ago.
For more ambiguous types of waste, such as a piece of plywood with nails driven through it, the robot uses a spectrometer to recognise objects based on the unique patterns of light they reflect.
Although he offers some points of light -- putting an aerosol layer of fine particles into the stratosphere to reflect back sunlight may, he says, could buy us some time by slowing down the rate of decline for a decade -- his projections are on the whole brutally pessimistic.
Dr Stefanov and his colleagues (or, rather, their computers) looked for the boundaries between densely developed areas, which reflect a lot of light because of all the edges and flat surfaces that people like to create, and those with more vegetation, which appear dark by comparison, as nature prefers curves.
Pebble will reflect even a small amount of ambient light, however, so your backlight usage is likely to be fairly minimal.
