Is responsible for absorbing the most uv radiation?
It Is Not The Atmosphsere. :) ;(
How the ozone layer reduces the amount of ultraviolet radiation that reaches earth's surface?
The ozone layer acts as a shield in the Earth's atmosphere, absorbing much of the incoming ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. This is due to the presence of ozone molecules, which have a natural ability to absorb UV radiation. By absorbing and scattering UV rays, the ozone layer prevents much of the harmful UV radiation from reaching the Earth's surface, protecting living organisms.
What atmospheric area is responsible for absorbing the most UV radiation?
The ozone layer high above the Earth blocks most of the ultraviolet (UV) light emitted by the Sun. This radiation is generally harmful to living things.
Which are more energetic photons of UV-A radiation or photons of UV-B radiation?
UV-B.
How is the depletion of ozone affecting the plankton in oceans?
planktons are sensitive to UV radiation as they lack protective UV-B absorbing layers that higher forms of plants and animals have. for more detailed information, see related links

What is the definition of lambda max for a particle absorbing in the uv region?
The same as for any particle absorbing electromagnetic radiation: the wavelength at which the largest amount of absorption occurs.

What part of the atmosphere protect the earth from utlraviolet radiation?
The stratosphere protects the Earth from most all harmful radiation. The nitrogen and oxygen absorb UV-C and more energetic radiation, and the ozone formed by some oxygen absorbing UV-C... in turn absorbs UV-B (which damages DNA).
Which gas in the atmosphere protect life from the sun's harmful?
The gas in the atmosphere that protects life from the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation is ozone (O3). The ozone layer is located in the stratosphere and acts as a shield, absorbing most of the UV radiation and preventing it from reaching the Earth's surface. Without ozone, excessive UV radiation would have damaging effects on living organisms.
Which are more energetic photons of UV-A radiation or photons of UV-B radiation?
UV-B.

How do UV and radiation relate?
UV is a type of radiation. It is fatal for life on earth.
Which of these is not a reason to avoid UV radiation?
uv radiation destroys vitamin D
What is naturally occurring gas in the stratosphere?
Ozone is the naturally occurring gas in the stratosphere. The ozone forms a major part by absorbing the highly energetic UV radiation from the sun.
Why do darker skin absorb more UV?
Dark skin is dark because of an abundance of the pigment melanin. Melanin is a brownish chemical also found in hair. It has the property of absorbing UV radiation and re-emitting the energy as heat.
