Valerie was researching environmental effects with respect to reflected radiation. Which term would Valerie use when describing how to measure the reflectivity of a surface? Valerie would use the term Albedo to describe the radiation being reflected from a surface.

Explanation:

Albedo is the total reflecting irradiance divided by the total incidence irradiance, is the fraction of incident radiation that is reflected by a surface.

The value of the Albedo depends of the nature of the surface, the incident angle of the sun and the properties of the atmosphere.

The earth´s albedo is the proportion of sunlight our planet reflects back into space.

a physical change is being made.
