Observation and inference - albedo — task. Chemistry CBSE Live product, Class 9 (2026-27).

Study the given observations and answer the given questions:

1. Observation:

Surface X reflects 80% of the incoming solar radiation, while Surface Y reflects 20%.

What can be inferred from this observation?

Both surfaces have equal albedo
Surface X absorbs more radiation than Surface Y
Surface Y has a higher albedo than Surface X
Surface X has a higher albedo than Surface Y

2. Observation:

Two surfaces receive similar solar radiation. Surface P absorbs more of the incoming radiation than Surface Q.

What can be inferred from this observation?

Both surfaces reflect exactly the same amount of radiation
Surface P reflects a smaller fraction of the incoming solar radiation
Surface Q absorbs more solar radiation than Surface P
Surface P must have a higher albedo than Surface Q
