Oxygen absorbs ultraviolet radiation with wavelengths shorter than 242 nm, specifically in the UV-C range. UV-C radiation breaks apart oxygen molecules to form ozone in the stratosphere, which helps protect Earth from harmful UV radiation reaching the surface.
Ozone (O3) forms when oxygen molecules (O2) are split apart by ultraviolet (UV) radiation in the atmosphere. The UV radiation can break apart an oxygen molecule to form two oxygen atoms, which can then combine with an oxygen molecule to form ozone.
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation can break apart Ozone (O3) molecules into an oxygen atom (O) and an oxygen molecule (O2) through a process called photodissociation. This is a key step in the ozone-oxygen cycle in the Earth's stratosphere, where ozone absorbs UV radiation to protect the planet from harmful UV rays.
Over 95 percent of incoming ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer in the stratosphere of the Earth's atmosphere. This absorption helps protect life on Earth by preventing most harmful UV radiation from reaching the surface.
Ozone absorbs UV radiation.
The substance that absorbs UV radiation is ozone.
UV light is absorbed by the ozone layer. It is the harmful part of sun's radiation.
UV light does not produce heat directly, as it is a form of electromagnetic radiation. However, when UV light is absorbed by surfaces or materials, it can cause them to heat up.
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.
Nitrogen, Oxygen (UV-C and more energetic), and Ozone (UV-B and more energetic)
Ozone builds up in the atmosphere through a chemical reaction involving ultraviolet (UV) radiation and oxygen molecules (O2). UV radiation from the sun breaks apart O2 molecules, which then combine with other O2 molecules to form ozone (O3). This process primarily occurs in the stratosphere, creating the ozone layer that protects Earth from harmful UV radiation.
UV is absorbed by ozone. It is fatal radiation of the sun.
UV rays are completely absorbed. They are harmful radiations from the sun.
You meant to say HEAT? UV radiation is a part of sun and is absorbed by UV.
Ozone doesn't convert UV, it absorbs it. The absorbed UV converts ozone.
Ozone (O3) is the ultraviolet radiation that absorbs oxygen molecules in the stratosphere. UV radiation breaks apart oxygen molecules (O2), allowing the loose oxygen atoms to combine with other oxygen molecules to form ozone.
It decreases.
Harmful UV radiation is mainly absorbed by the ozone layer, which is located in the stratosphere of the atmosphere. The ozone layer helps protect Earth by absorbing most of the sun's harmful UV radiation before it reaches the surface.
