house to be warmed by the suns energy. which material would be best to use
for transmitting visible light into the room?
a. concrete
b. glass
c. wood
d. brick
Glass is a transparent material that allows visible light to pass through it. Concrete, wood, and brick are opaque materials that do not transmit visible light effectively. In a cold - climate home, using glass for a room that is to be warmed by the Sun's energy is ideal as it can let in the sunlight (visible light) which can then be absorbed and converted into heat inside the room.
