Question

Your bedroom gets direct sunlight through a window during the hottest part of the day. You ask your mom to turn down the thermomstat in the house so your room can cool down. Instead, your mom suggests that you put aluminum foil over the windows. What will the results be if you take your mom's advice?

A. A room cooled by minimizing heat transfer by reflection.
B. A room cooled by minimizing heat transfer by radiation.
C. A room cooled by minimizing heat transfer by convection.
D. A room cooled by minimizing heat transfer by conduction.
