Small amount of ultraviolet and infrared have the tendency to penetrate all the way to ground. Choose the correct statement.
Answer to Problem 1VSC
Solution:
Amongst the three B option is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Light is an
Infrared rays are the electromagnetic rays having higher wavelengths as compared to the visible rays.
With a closer view we can say that the visible ray and the wavelengths close to it will penetrate through the atmosphere. These are the rays having long wavelengths as compared to infrared rays.
All the other rays i.e. the ultraviolet rays and the X-rays do not reach the surface of earth as they have higher order of wavelengths.
Thus the option b is correct.
Conclusion:
Hence option b is correct
