Answer the following question given this paragraph: 

Albedo is the amount of light reflected by a surface. Sea ice has an albedo of .85, meaning 85% of light is reflected back from its surface (and leaves the Earth) and 15% is absorbed and stays in the Earth; ice-free water has an albedo of .07. (93% of the solar energy is absorbed. ) Thus the observed melting of sea ice could amplify the effect of global warming.


Q: What is the scientific term for the amount of light reflected by a surface?

 Choices:

- prism

- inversion

- reactivity

- albedo

A:
