Do ultraviolet waves get through earth's atmosphere?
Ultraviolet light does come through the Earth's atmosphere. These are the waves that cause sunburn, and are usually referred to as UV rays.
Does the light from the sun reflect on earth to make daylight?
No, the light from the sun is filtered throught the Earth's atmosphere. The atmosphere lets through the unharmful rays, giving us daylight.

It would not benefit us much if we could see certain other frequencies, that hardly pass through the atmosphere.That is because the visibile light is what passes easily through our atmosphere.
