Ozone Layer

The ozone at ground level is a pollutant. It can cause breathing problems.

Ozone hole first appeared over Antarctilca. It is because of the cold temperature.

1. the thickness of the atmosphere attenuates gamma rays to safe levels at the surface
2. the thickness of the atmosphere attenuates x-rays to safe levels at the surface
3. ozone in the top layer of the stratosphere absorbs most ultraviolet
4. the atmosphere does not significantly absorb or attenuate visible light
5. water vapor in the atmosphere absorbs most infrared
6. water vapor in the atmosphere attenuates microwaves
7. the atmosphere does not significantly absorb or attenuate radio waves of longer wavelength than microwaves

UV-C and UV-B, as most of the more energetic wavelengths are gone before the ozone layer. credit goes to ANSWERS

Fire releases heat and carbon dioxide. The carbon depends on how the fire is burnt. Unburnt hydrocarbons are released if fire is not complete.

Hazardous coolants in refrigeration units were replaced

Yes thunder makes ozone.

It is because when thunder passes through oxygen due to electrical discharge the oxygen molecules disintegrate and thus form nascent ozygen which on reaction with oxygen molecule form ozone. This process is used in the formation of artificial ozone in an ozoniser. The pleasant smell during lightning is of the formation of ozone.

Ozone Layer

It is starting to get smaller and is located over Australia

Ozone layer was not made by humans but naturally. It was made for the purpose of protecting life on earth.

The "ozone layer" is roughly the same condition it has always been in. The amount of ozone in the upper atmosphere varies mainly due to variations in solar activity. UV radiation has serious affects on this layer. Holes form over the poles at the end of each winter due to a lack of sunlight. When the sun returns, the "holes" quickly disappear.

A Ultraviolet Germicidal Air purifier or a UV air purifier for short uses air cleaners using ultraviolet germicidal UV and ionic swine flu purifiers. What makes them different from other air purifiers is that they are effective cleaner the air from viruses.

The ozone in stratosphere is important for living things. The living things cannot expose themselves to UV which ozone protects.

Spectroscopes are used to determine the elements present in different substances. They do this by separating light into spectra, or different colors. Each element has a unique spectra, just like people each have a unique fingerprint. By looking at the light from a star, for example, a scientist can tell that it contains hydrogen, helium, and other elements. It was discovered that our sun contained helium by using a spectroscope during an eclipse- this was before we'd even discovered helium on earth! Spectroscopes can be used to tell the chemicals that are present in your blood. They can be used to determine if a molten metal is at the correct temperature for an industrial process, and can confirm the percentages of metals in an alloy.

No, it does not. UV is absorbed by almost all organic compounds and inorganic too on Earth (soil has a lot of if). The only exception is snow. Snow reflects UV, as result you can get sun burn even in Alaska in winter. But even if it get reflected, it will not penetrate through windows glass. Usual glass absorbs (all of it), that's why you cannot get tint even if you are looking at the sun through your window. Only quarts does not absorb UV, it's used in so called "sun bath It's when you in the room with quartz celling and walls getting your tint.

Ozone layer does not convert UV rays. It absorbs them.

The stratosphere layer holds ozone. It is tri atomic gas. It protects us from the UV rays of the sun.

Yes, it does. Ozone depletion can cause greenhouse effect and thus global warming.

A continuous spectrum is produced when white light passes through a prism or when hot gas is heated to incandescence. In either case the light is separated into its component colors based on their different wavelengths. All the colors of the visible spectrum from red to violet are present in the resulting continuous spectrum.

When white light passes through a prism the individual wavelengths of light are bent at different angles separating the light into a spectrum. This is known as dispersion. The prism separates the wavelengths of light into visible colors with the shortest wavelength being the color red and the longest wavelength being the color violet.

When hot gas is heated to incandescence the gas molecules become excited and emit light. The light produced is a continuous spectrum because all the wavelengths of visible light are present. The intensity of the emitted light varies with the wavelength with the shortest wavelength having the greatest intensity and the longest wavelength having the least intensity.

The ozone has both positive and negative effects. It protects us from UV rays but also acts as pollutant.

The ozone doesn't quite destroy its own molecules. Ultra-violet rays from the sun, that penetrate through the ozone break it's molecules apart. One molecule of ozone contains 3 atoms of oxygen. When the molecule splits, it releases heat. Then, one molecule of oxygen (2 atoms) and one atom of oxygen join together again, and become ozone (3 atoms of oxygen).

Ultraviolet light can cause damage to living organisms in the environment, such as sunburn in humans, skin cancer in animals, and reduced photosynthesis in plants. It can also break down certain chemicals in the atmosphere, leading to the formation of harmful pollutants like ozone. Protecting the environment from excessive ultraviolet light exposure is important for maintaining ecological balance.

Ozone layer blocks about 97% of the the total received by the earth. Ozone depletion will expose earth to harmful radiations and will burn the life. The temperature will increase and make earth inhabitable place.
