Question

Which statements describe the results of the effect of angle of insolation on absorption experiment? Check all that apply.

A) At 3 minutes, the soil temperature at a 0° angle of insolation is higher than at 90°.
B)At 6 minutes, the soil temperature at a 45° angle of insolation is higher than at 0°.
C)At 9 minutes, the soil temperature at a 90° angle of insolation is lower than at 45°.
D)At 12 minutes, the soil temperature at a 45° angle of insolation is lower than at 0°.
E) At 15 minutes, the soil temperature at a 90° angle of insolation is higher than at 45°.

Answer 1

I don’t have the experiment data or graph, so I can’t determine which statements are correct. Could you upload the table or image of the results (soil temperature vs. time for 0°, 45°, and 90°)?

How you (or I) can check each statement once the data are available:
- For each listed time (3, 6, 9, 12, 15 min), read the three temperatures (0°, 45°, 90°).
- Compare the two angles named in the statement (e.g., for A, compare temperature at 0° and at 90° at 3 min).
- Mark the statement true if the inequality in the statement matches the data.

If the data follow the common pattern (0° > 45° > 90° at all times), then the answers would be:
- A: true
- B: false
- C: true
- D: true
- E: false

But please upload the actual results or describe the values so I can give a definitive answer.
