Question

Which factors affect absorption and reflection of thermal energy? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct answer is A and C

Explanation:

Absoption of thermal energy is process of transferring energy from one source to other source. Absoption depends on the wavelength of the radiation it means it depends on color and texture of the material.

Reflection:

Reflection is a phenomena in which radiation is incident from one medium to the surface of other medium and it come back to the same medium without entering in other medium. It  depends on the wavelength of the radiation it means it depends on color and texture of the material

For example:

If you wore dark color cloths then you will feel hot because dark color absorb more heat similarly if you wore light cloth then you will not feel hot because light color reflects more radiation.

Answer 2

A and C, The Color and Texture of the material.
