Which are more energetic photons of UV-A radiation or photons of UV-B radiation?
UV-B.
How does stratospheric ozone absorb ultraviolet radiation?
Nitrogen breaks down into atoms when it absorbs UV-C or more energetic radiation. Oxygen breaks down into atoms when it absorbs UV-C or more energetic radiation. Ozone breaks down into atoms when it absorbs UV-B or more energetic radiation.
How does ozone layer protect us from UV rays?
Nitrogen and Oxygen stop UV-C and more energetic radiation. When they do this, they are broken down into constituent atoms. N2 + energetic light -> 2N O2 + energetic light -> 2O Some of the oxygen forms ozone (eventually). Ozone is broken apart by absorbing UV-B and more energetic radiation. O3 + energetic light -> O2 + O
What helps protect Earth from ultraviolet radiation?
There are three. In order of the amounts they protect us: # nitrogen, absorbs UV-C and more energetic radiation, ~78% of the atmosphere # oxygen, absorbs UV-C and more energetic radiation, ~21% of the atmosphere # ozone, absorbs UV-B and more energetic radiation, ~0.0001% of the atmosphere
How are humans adapted to UV rays?
UV-A helps us form vitamin D.UV-B and more energetic radiation causes cancer, mutation, and cataracts.
Which are more energetic photons of UV-A radiation or photons of UV-B radiation?
UV-B.
What allotrope of oxygen absorbs UV rays?
There are two: # oxygen, O2, absorbs UV-C and more energetic radiation, # ozone, O3, absorbs UV-B and more energetic radiation.

Is UV visible and IR range considered non ionizing radiation?
No of course not.answ2. Light and heat are ordinary EM (electromagnetic) radiation.Ionizing radiation is sufficiently energetic to remove parts of an atom, and to thus ionize it.The UV from sunshine may damage the molecular bonds, but this is not ionizing radiation.
Does polyurethane protect against uv rays from the sun?
There is no indication that a thin layer would be much protection from UV-B or more energetic radiation from the Sun. It does absorb / emit quite broadly in the UV-A range.
Function of the components of ozone layer?
The nitrogen and oxygen protects Earth's surface from UV-C and more energetic radiation. The ozone uniquely protect Earth's surface from UV-B.
What is Earths incoming ultraviolet radiation absorbed by?
Nitrogen, Oxygen (UV-C and more energetic), and Ozone (UV-B and more energetic)
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).
3 thing's that destroy ozone?
UV-B or more energetic radiation from the Suncatalysts like water vapor and chlorine- or bromine-containing moleculestime
