Water is unusual in that its value for this quantity is dependent on the angle of the incident light.  Its value can range from one to zero, snow having a value of 0.9, while a perfect mirror would have a value of 1.  FTP, name this term from the Latin for "whiteness" which is a measure that is the ratio of the energy reflected from a body to the energy incident upon it.
