Which would absorb the most radiant energy based on its texture? a rocky mountain, a glacier, a frozen lake, or a waxy leaf?

The correct answer is a rocky mountain.

The radiant energy is absorbed and reflected differently by the sooth surface and rough surface.The dark color absorbs more radiant energy as compared to light color.

The radiant energy is reflected back mostly by the smooth surfaces and absorbed less. As compared to smooth surfaces, the rough surface will absorb most of the radiant energy.

Example is rocky mountain( dark and rough as compared to the other materials like glacier,frozen lake or waxy leaf).

one centimetre is equal to 0.01 metres

evidence and logical support is essential for a scientist to do in order to maintain credibility. this is because no one can believe without any logic and without any evidence.hence a scientist can maintain credibility by proving himself and by answering logically so experiments prove very beneficial. logical hypothesis give conclusion which is acceptable. therefore, there are two main factors to maintain credibility by a scientist is evidence and logical support.
