No, UV-B radiation is uniquely absorbed by ozone, no matter where that ozone is located. Ozone is found in all layers of the atmosphere, but most is concentrated at the bottom of the stratosphere. Ozone concentrations drop to near zero at the top of the exosphere, and the bottom of the troposphere. So very little UV-B is absorbed by ozone in the troposphere,
What else can I help you with?
Does the amount if heat radiation absorbed by a surface depend only on its colour?
No, the amount of heat radiation absorbed by a surface depends on factors such as color, texture, material, and orientation. Darker colors tend to absorb more heat compared to lighter colors, but other factors also play a significant role in the amount of heat absorbed.
What blocks most ultraviolet radiation from entering earths serface?
The ozone layer in Earth's stratosphere mostly blocks ultraviolet radiation from entering the surface. It absorbs the majority of harmful UVB and UVC radiation, allowing only UVA and some UVB radiation to reach the surface.
Does Ozone make smog?
Wrong way around. Tropospheric (ground level) ozone is a component of photochemical smog. It is made by the interaction of ultraviolet light, volatile hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides. Other products of this reaction include polycyclic hydrocarbons (PAHs) Stratospheric ozone (hig level) is made by the interaction of oxygen atoms and ultraviolet light. The two locations only interact when stratospheric ozone is downwashed by the jet stream passing over high mountain into the troposphere.
What is a common name for troposphere ozone?
It only has one name in each language. In English, it is "ozone layer". Ozone is found in all layers of the atmosphere, and is at its highest concentrations in the lower stratosphere / upper troposphere, where it is called the "ozone layer". Still lots of nitrogen and oxygen there too, though.
Why can radiation from the Sun get through the atmosphere?
Because it is generally of a very high energy level, allowing it to be transmitted (rather than absorbed, reflected, or scattered off of molecules of gases or larger particles) straight to the ground. This has to do with the size of these particles relative to the very short wavelength of this radiation, and also to the preference of these molecules of gas to absorb gases of different wavelengths. Though in reality, quite a bit of it IS absorbed by gases, scattered by particles, and reflected by clouds. This is the biggest reason it remains so cold in polar regions in the summer, even when there are 24 hours of sun: it must pass through such a thick layer of atmosphere due to the tilt of the sphere of the Earth, that only a relatively small amount can make it to the surface. When it heats up the surface of the Earth, which then emits its own radiation (at a much longer wavelength, and therefore lower energy level, than the sun because the Earth is much cooler than the sun), this "longwave radiation" tends to get absorbed much more readily by the atmosphere, and this is the essence of the greenhouse effect.
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.
How are humans changing both tropospheric and stratospheric ozone?
No, they are not. Humans are chaging the stratospheric ozone only.
Does UVA radiation get absorbed by ozone?
Yes, ozone absorbs the majority of UVA radiation in the Earth's stratosphere, providing a crucial protective layer against harmful UV rays. This absorption helps to shield the Earth's surface from the damaging effects of UVA radiation.
How many kinds of ozone are there?
There is only one kind of ozone. The difference between the air pollutant (tropospheric) and the UV-B absorbant / protectant (stratospheric) is just location.
How much of the ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by oxygen and ozone?
It is likely that ozone only absorbs a tiny percentage of the UV-C incident on Earth's atmosphere. Likely the majority of UV-C is absorbed by nitrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere, and that in the lower stratosphere (where ozone is produced).
How much radiation does the sun produce?
44888000900 kg of radiation gas, obviously slowly killing itself.
What is the type of electromagnetic energy that is absorbed by the ozone layer?
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the type of electromagnetic energy that is absorbed by the ozone layer in the Earth's stratosphere. UV radiation is harmful to living organisms and can cause skin cancer and other health issues if it reaches the Earth's surface in large amounts.
Does the ozone layer protect us from infrared radiation?
No, the ozone layer primarily protects us from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Infrared radiation is not absorbed by ozone, as it has longer wavelengths. Our atmosphere, particularly water vapor and carbon dioxide, absorb and trap some of the infrared radiation.
What percent of radiation is absorbed?
The percentage of radiation absorbed depends on the material and type of radiation. For example, lead can absorb up to 98% of gamma radiation, while air may only absorb a small percentage. The absorption rate is also affected by the thickness and density of the material.
Which molecule do not absorb microwave radiation?
Ozone does not absorb microwave. It only absorbs UV.
What is the heat capacity of dark colors vs light colors?
The darkness or lightness by itself doesn't affect the heat capacity, only how easily radiation will be absorbed - and emitted.The darkness or lightness by itself doesn't affect the heat capacity, only how easily radiation will be absorbed - and emitted.The darkness or lightness by itself doesn't affect the heat capacity, only how easily radiation will be absorbed - and emitted.The darkness or lightness by itself doesn't affect the heat capacity, only how easily radiation will be absorbed - and emitted.
Why doesn't the ultraviolet radiation from the sun reach the ground?
Most of the Sun's ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer in the Earth's atmosphere, which acts as a protective shield. Only a small amount of UV radiation reaches the Earth's surface, and this limited exposure is important for processes like vitamin D synthesis in humans, but excessive UV radiation can be harmful.
