Water absorbs UV rays primarily due to its molecular structure, which allows it to vibrate and transition to higher energy states when exposed to ultraviolet radiation. The specific bonding and arrangement of hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water molecules facilitate the absorption of UV light, particularly in the UV-C and UV-B ranges. This absorption helps protect aquatic ecosystems from harmful UV radiation, but it also means that UV penetration in water decreases with depth. Consequently, the effectiveness of UV light decreases as it travels through water, limiting its reach in aquatic environments.
What else can I help you with?
What in the atmosphere absorbs UV rays?
Ozone in the atmosphere absorbs UV rays.
Does ozone absorbs x rays?
No, it doesn't. It only absorbs UV rays.
What upper layer traps ozone?
The upper layer of ozone absorbs the UV rays. These are high energy UV radiations.
Which gas in the atmosphere absorbe uv RAYS?
Ozone absorbs the UV rays. It is present as ozone layer.
What is a uv ray absorber?
Ozone absorbs UV rays. It is present in stratosphere.
What does he ozone layer do?
Ozone layer in stratosphere absorbs the UV rays. These UV rays are fatal for life on earth.
What gas absorbs ultraviolet rays with 50NM wavelength?
Ozone absorbs the UV rays. These are high energy radiations.
What is the difference in percentage of the UV rays to the moon in comparison to the earth?
Of the total UV rays , the moon absorbs 96.2% of the sun's UV, we get only 3.8%.
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.
What does the ozone do foe the stratosphere?
Ozone absorbs the UV rays. These are fatal rays from the sun.
Is there any device that absorbs UV rays from the sun when it reaches earth?
Maybe, I dont really know. But I know that there's a natural device called "Ozone" which absorbs UV rays!
How ozone layer block the ultraviolet radiations?
Ozone layer absorbs the UV rays. These are UV rays that are harmful to life on earth.
