What is completely absorbed by the ozone is it x-rays- gamma rays- visible light- UV- microwaves- radio waves- or infrared waves?

In order of increasing energies: # radio waves, passes through ozone. # microwaves, passes through ozone, but there are some resonances in "spinning" the molecule at a few tens of frequencies. # infrared, ozone absorbs some infrared... it is a molecule with more than two atoms. # visible light, very little interaction with all but blue. # ultraviolet light, UV-A passes through, UV-B and UV-C are absorbed. # X-rays, absorbed. # gamma rays, absorbed. Now it is important how much ozone is available along any given path for absorbing the radiation. Gases are very sparse, so "completely absorbed" doesn't happen. In addition, UV-C and more energetic are absorbed by all gases in our atmosphere. Ozone is unique in absorbing UV-B, and shares absorbing infrared with things like methane and water vapor.

Is it the heat or rays that make you tan under a sun bed?

It is the ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sunbed that cause your skin to tan. The UV rays stimulate the production of melanin in your skin, which gives it a darker color. It is not the heat itself that causes tanning.
