Question:

Which material would result in the least amount of energy transfer?

Answer:

A. A reflector that is bright in color and smooth.

Explanation:

- Light colors absorb less energy then the dark colors.

- Smooth surfaces absorb less energy then rough surfaces.

- An object that reflects the energy: means the radiation of thermal energy coming to the object will bounce off of that object.

So This is the Least amount of energy transferred.

Don't listen to the other answer they are wrong.

Their answer was for the most amount of energy transferred

Trust me I got a A of the test.

Hope you do great on the test!
