Carla did an experiment by placing a piece of smooth, clear glass and a piece of smooth, black stone under a lamp for twenty minutes. Which prediction will most likely be supported by Carla’s experimental results?

The smooth, black stone will absorb more of the lamp’s light than the clear glass. Absorbed light transfers energy to the stone, making it warmer after twenty minutes. The clear glass lets much of the light pass through, so it is less likely to become as warm. Therefore, the prediction that the stone will feel warmer than the glass is most likely to be supported.
