There is the photoelectric effect, which is the process that emitts electrons from a metals surface when light of a certain frequency shines on the surface. In the metal, the nuclei are surrounded by electrons, so when the incoming electrons strike the surface, they pull apart from the electrons of the metal because of how like charges detract from each other.
Yes, beryllium is a lustrous metal. It has a shiny surface when freshly cut, but can develop a dull patina over time due to oxidation.
Caesium is freshly cut, it have a metallic shine, but this disappears rapidly due to reaction of exposed metal surface with oxygen in the air
Zinc is a bluish-white metal that has a metallic luster. When freshly cut, zinc exhibits a shiny surface that can dull over time due to oxidation.
Shiny.
Freshly cut metal has a lustrous surface because the cutting process breaks the continuous oxide layer on the surface, exposing the clean metal underneath. This clean metal surface reflects light well, giving it a shiny appearance. Over time, the exposed metal will form a new oxide layer, which may diminish its initial luster.

The device you are referring to is a photoelectric cell or a photodiode. When light shines on the metal surface of these devices, electrons are emitted in a process called the photoelectric effect, which generates an electric current.
If the metal had a metallic luster, on a freshly exposed, non-weathered surface, you would see a somewhat shiny, opaque surface.
You think probable to an ultraviolet lamp.
Yes, neptunium is a silvery metal that can appear shiny when freshly cut or polished.
Shiny metal is a physical property because it can be observed without changing the chemical composition of the metal. It is a characteristic related to how light interacts with the surface of the metal.

Light produces electrons in the photoelectric effect. When light of sufficient energy (photon energy) shines on a metal surface, it can eject electrons from the surface, creating a flow of current.
