A reflective relation is one where the relation holding between A and B implies that the relation also holds between B and A
'sibling' is a reflective relation. A is B's sibling implies that B is A's sibling.
In contrast, 'sister' is not reflective, A is B's sister does not imply that B is A's sister (for B might be male).
That means that in the relation considered, any object relates to itself: For any "x", relation(x, x) is true. For example, this is a property of equality (any number is equal to itself), of congruence (any object is congruent to itself), and to relationships such as greater-than-or-equal (any number is greater than or equal to itself) and the non-strict subset relation (any set is a subset of itself).

Yes - it has two lines of reflective symmetry.

a mirror due to the fact of being reflective.

Reflective question require people to examine their existing knowledge or information before giving a thoughtful response for example, 'Which parts of Australia have you visited so far?'

No, there is no relation between the two.

Reflective essays are a form of writing that examine and observe the progress of the writer's individual experience. Diary entries, if they are more than just short sentences, can be considered a form of reflective paper.
It isn't.... take water for example it isn't "smooth" or "shiny" but has reflective properties
