Question

select the correct image.
based on the albedo values given, identify the object that will reflect more than half of the solar radiation it receives.
images: tree (0.13), rock (0.21), ice (0.55), ocean (0.06)

Explanation:

Albedo is the fraction of solar radiation reflected by an object. To reflect more than half (0.5) of solar radiation, the albedo value must be greater than 0.5. Among the given albedo values (0.13, 0.21, 0.55, 0.06), only 0.55 (associated with the ice - covered object) is greater than 0.5. So the object with albedo 0.55 (the ice - covered one) reflects more than half of the solar radiation it receives.

Answer:

The image of the ice - covered object (with albedo 0.55)
