Ultraviolet radiation in the stratosphere is absorbed by
-
- SO2
- Ozone
- Oxygen
- Argon
Correct Option: B
The ozone layer of Earth’s stratosphere absorbs most of the Sun’s ultraviolet radiation. It absorbs 97 to 99 percent of the Sun’s medium-frequency ultraviolet light (from about 200 nm to 315 nm wavelength), which otherwise would potentially damage exposed life forms on the earth.
