1. The problem asks to order the sequence of events in a solar oven's heating process. 2. The given statements are: - Rays pass through glass or plastic. - Rays hit reflectors. - Rays are absorbed by dark surfaces. - The temperature rises. 3. The correct sequence is based on the physical process: - First, rays must enter the oven, so they pass through glass or plastic. - Then, rays hit reflectors that direct them inside. - Next, rays are absorbed by dark surfaces, which convert light to heat. - Finally, the temperature inside the oven rises as heat accumulates. 4. Therefore, the ordered sequence is: 1. Rays pass through glass or plastic. 2. Rays hit reflectors. 3. Rays are absorbed by dark surfaces. 4. The temperature rises. This sequence logically follows the flow of energy from sunlight entering the oven to the temperature increase inside.
