Question

1. compared with a material with a high albedo, a material with a low albedo

a. radiates more heat c. radiates less heat
b. reflects more light d. reflects less light e. both a and d
f. both b and c

Explanation:

Albedo is the measure of the fraction of solar energy (short - wave radiation) reflected from a surface. A high - albedo material reflects more light and a low - albedo material reflects less light. Also, a low - albedo material absorbs more energy and thus radiates more heat.

Answer:

e. Both A and D
