When light waves hit ice, most of them bounce off and radiate back into space. Because of this, it can be said that ice is a (n) surface

The answer is reflective

Any object that allows light to freely bounce off its surface is said to be reflective. Reflection is the bouncing back of waves, in this case light waves, upon reaching another surface. Other examples of reflective surfaces are some metals and the glass that makes mirrors. It is the mirror's ability to reflect light that allows us to see our relection.
