Ultraviolet radiation can pass through some materials like glass and air, but it is absorbed by materials such as sunscreen, clothing, and certain plastics. Substances with high UV absorption properties are used to protect materials and living organisms from the harmful effects of UV radiation.

Which passes through glass without a problem infrared or ultraviolet radiation?

Infrared radiation can pass through glass without a problem. Ultraviolet radiation, however, is partially absorbed by most types of glass and therefore cannot pass through as easily.


Which part of the solar radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer?

The ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer. The ozone molecules do not allow only the ultraviolet radiations to pass through.


Which form passes through skin but not through bone?

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation can pass through skin, but it is absorbed by bone and does not pass through it. UV radiation is responsible for tanning and sunburn when it penetrates the skin.


What electromagnetic radiations are blocked by the atmosphere?

The Earth's atmosphere blocks most of the ultraviolet radiation from the Sun, as well as certain infrared wavelengths. This is important for protecting life on Earth from harmful radiation. Most radio waves, visible light, and some infrared and ultraviolet radiation are able to pass through the atmosphere.


What protects earth from hamful ultraviolet radiation?

The ozone layer present in the stratospheric region of the atmosphere protects us from the harmful ultraviolet radiations of the earth. It blocks the harmful radiations while allows the useful ones to pass through.


Does earth emit ultraviolet radiation?

The Earth itself does not emit ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet radiation primarily comes from the sun, which emits different wavelengths of light including ultraviolet radiation. When the Earth is exposed to sunlight, it can absorb and reflect this ultraviolet radiation.


Does ultraviolet radiation exhibit wave behavior as it travels through space?

Yes.


How are ultraviolet lights made?

Ultraviolet lights are made using special lamps that contain a gas such as mercury, which emits UV radiation when an electric current passes through it. The gas is enclosed in a tube made of quartz or special glass that allows the UV radiation to pass through. When the lamp is turned on, the electricity excites the gas atoms, causing them to release UV light.


Which type of radiation can pass easily through polythene sheets?

Alpha radiation cannot easily pass through polythene sheets, while beta and gamma radiation can pass through them. However, beta radiation may be partially absorbed depending on the energy level.


Can ultraviolet light go through glass?

Yes, ultraviolet light can pass through glass, but the amount that passes through depends on the type of glass and its thickness.
