George is at a water park with his family. He needs to get a tube to use for one of the rides, and he chose his color first. There are black tubes, dark purple tubes, dark blue tubes, and yellow tubes. Each member of his family had to choose a different colored tube. George chose a yellow tube, because he thought it would be the coolest. After everyone chose a tube, he touched all of the tubes. The yellow tube was the coolest. How do you think George knew that the yellow tube would be the coolest?

i think it's because all the other colors are dark and the darker the color, the more heat it absorbs. yellow or white or basically light colors would reflect the light. this is just if it is talking in terms of temperature.

Answer:

D) He knew that light colors reflect energy, so they would be coolest.

He knew that light colors reflect energy, so they would be coolest. George used his knowledge of heat to help him choose the yellow tube. He knew that light colors reflect energy, so they are cooler. He knew that dark colors absorb energy, which makes them hotter. All of the tubes were dark colored, except yellow. Yellow was the lightest, so he chose it.

hopes it helps:)
