Question
which uv radiation type is almost entirely absorbed by the ozone layer and does not reach earths surface? uvc uvb uva
UV radiation is classified into three types: UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVC has the shortest wavelength and is highly energetic. The ozone layer, which is rich in ozone (\(O_3\)) molecules, effectively absorbs UVC radiation through a series of chemical reactions. UVA has a longer wavelength and can penetrate the ozone layer to a significant extent, reaching the Earth's surface. UVB is partially absorbed by the ozone layer, with some amount still reaching the ground.
