Question 3 • EF English 12 - 1st 9 Weeks (New)

What is the main purpose of Webb's Five-Layer Sunshield, as shown in the diagram?

Answer
A
to block and redirect heat away from the telescope's cold side
B
to absorb heat and store it for the telescope’s use
C
to reflect all sunlight back into space without absorbing any heat
D
to generate energy for the telescope using sunlight

Explanation

Webb’s five-layer sunshield keeps the telescope’s instruments cold by blocking sunlight and directing heat away from the telescope’s cold side. It does not store heat or use sunlight to generate power; some heat is absorbed by the layers and radiated away into space. Therefore, the main purpose is to block and redirect heat away from the telescope’s cold side.
