i think aluminium, its the most common reflective one anyway.
Actually I am in the middle of a project that requires this information. Silver exceeds aluminum. Silver has a 98% RI and Aluminum is 90%.

What changes would you expect to see in the resulting spectrum of emitted light from a piece of metal when it is heated slowly in an intense flame from 500K to 1500K?
It depends on the metal. Opaque metals, aka black bodies, which are neither reflective nor translucent, will radiate predictably according to the color temperature scale. However, 1500K is not hot enough to cause a black body to radiate. My guess is that you will see no change in the metal if heated between 500K - 1500K, unless the metal is soft enough to melt at those temperatures. Either way, it's not likely to glow. A reflective metal, however, will probably reflect something based on the color of the flame that heats it.
When light would refract?
If one considers reflective indicies, if the reflective index of the second medium (n2) is larger than the first (n1), the ray bends towards the normal. This means that n2 > n1Since n is defined as c/v, we know that the speed of light is greater in the first medium. Thus, when light changes speed from fast to slow, it bends towards the normal.
What is a reflective curve?
a reflecting curve
What is called the self reflective observation of one's own sensations and feeling?
Introspection is the self-reflective observation of one's own sensations and feeling.
What is gold's luster?
Yellow, shiny. I don't believe there is a numerical luster scale, just on ordinal one. gold can be polished to as good a reflective surface as any other metal (but some wavelengths will be absorbed thus its yellow color)
What does high reflective index mean?
Reflective Index used to apply to CRT monitors and was a gauge of how much reflected light came off a monitor. A reflective index of < 15% was good. Today's TFT LCD monitors typically have a reflective index of less than 1%, especially those that are backlit, so the term has gone out of use now, and is no longer relevant.
Do impurities raise or lower the refractive index of a substance?
Impurities can cause a significant change in the reflective index of a liquid. Impurities totally affect the results of the experiment. It changes the reflective index and affect the concentration of the solution.
What has the highest index of refraction?
Diamond (2.33)is far from the highest. The highest are silicon and germanium. Silicon has a refractive index of 3.96 and germanium has the highest with 4.01.
Write an expression to claculate the reflective index of glass?
I cannot answer this question without knowing the numbers for the glass
What is the advantage of parabolic reflective antennae?
parabolic reflector having highest directivity.
Why does skin have the highest mitotic index?

What is an objects ability to reflect sunlight called?
Reflectivity, index of refraction and optical density are all ways to measure reflective light.
The transport index TI of a radioactive material?
Transport Index is the highest radiation level at one meter from the surface of the package.
What is the purpose of the Russell 1000 Index?
The Russell 1000 Index is a stock market index. Its purpose is to represent the highest ranking 1000 stocks in the Russell 3000 Index, which counts for 90% of that particular market.
