Why do you think the side of the UV detector card that was facing the foil detected more ultraviolet light? Explain.

Answer:

Because it received more uv light as a result of reflection.

Step-by-step explanation:

The uv detection card has its two side exposed to the uv light equally, but some of the uv reflected off of the foil increasing the incident uv on the side of the card facing the foil.
