Q42NEET 1999 · AIPMTEasy

Electromagnetic Spectrum & Atmosphere

Ozone layer blocks the radiations of wave length

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Ozone strongly absorbs UV with wavelength below about 300 nm300\ \text{nm}.
  2. 300 nm=3×10−7 m300\ \text{nm} = 3\times10^{-7}\ \text{m}.
  3. So the answer is (a) less than 3×10−7 m3\times10^{-7}\ \text{m}.
