Question

asphalt rubber hma hma w/ white paint asphalt rubber w/ white paint 12 - inch concrete paint surface temperature (°f) 67 62 56 51 52 albedo 0.13 0.17 0.26 0.27 0.47 which choice most effectively uses data from the table to complete the example? a the darkest materials were around 15°f cooler than the lightest ones on the same day b as temperatures rose throughout the day, the albedos of materials also increased c as temperatures rose throughout the day, the albedos of materials decreased d the darkest materials were around 15°f hotter than the lightest ones on the same day the higher a materials albedo, the more incoming light it reflects. for example, white materials have a high albedo, meaning they reflect a high proportion of incoming light. because absorbed light energy is converted into heat, high - albedo roofing materials stay cooler than the low - albedo black tar or asphalt shingles that are

Explanation:

The table shows surface temperature and albedo values for different materials. Higher albedo means more light reflection and cooler materials. We need to find the option that uses this data - relationship. Option A correctly notes that the lightest (higher - albedo) materials were cooler.

Answer:

A. the lightest ones on the same day were around 15°F cooler than the darkest materials were around 15°F hotter than the lightest ones on the same day.
