That it is a good one and bad one that's what I think hope it helps!:)
Answer:
a shiny smooth leaf
Explanation:
A shiny smooth leaf will cause specular reflection. Other choices will cause diffused reflection from the surface.
A specular reflection is similar to how a mirror or smooth surface reflects. The incident light is given off as a single ordered reflection from the surface of a body.
For this to occur, the surface incident must be smooth and without rough patterns on it.
A path way with rough rocks, small patch of soil and rough logs will give off diffused reflection
Answer:
A. Is the one that the experimenter manipulates directly
Explanation:
The independent variable is the one that is manipulated during an experiment by the experimenter.
The dependent variable is the one that is effected by the independent variable in an experiment.
Once energy from the Sun gets to Earth, several things can happen to it:
Energy can be scattered or absorbed by aerosols in the atmosphere. Aerosols are dust, soot, sulfates and nitric oxides. When aerosols absorb energy, the atmosphere becomes warmer. When aerosols scatter energy, the atmosphere is cooled.
Short wavelengths are absorbed by ozone in the stratosphere.
Clouds may act to either reflect energy out to space or absorb energy, trapping it in the atmosphere.
The land and water at Earth's surface may act to either reflect energy or absorb it. Light colored surfaces are more likely to reflect sunlight, while dark surfaces typically absorb the energy, warming the planet.
Albedo is the percentage of the Sun's energy that is reflected back by a surface. Light colored surfaces like ice have a high albedo, while dark colored surfaces tend to have a lower albedo. The buildings and pavement in cities have such a low albedo that cities have been called "heat islands" because they absorb so much energy that they warm up.
