q7. which of the following correctly describes the meaning of albedo?
the lower the albedo, the more light the surface reflects, and the less it absorbs.
the higher the albedo, the more light the surface reflects, and the less it absorbs.
the higher the albedo, the more light the surface absorbs.
the higher the albedo, the more light the surface emits.

Explanation:

Albedo is a measure of the reflectivity of a surface. A higher albedo means more light is reflected. When light is reflected, less of it is absorbed by the surface. For example, snow has a high albedo (reflects a lot of light) and absorbs less heat compared to a dark - colored surface (low albedo) which absorbs more light.

Answer:

The higher the albedo, the more light the surface reflects, and the less it absorbs.
