The protective capacity of ozone in the atmosphere is mainly related to which wavelength region?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Ultraviolet radiation
Ozone absorbs a substantial part of the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation, especially UV-B and nearly all UV-C in the upper atmosphere. This absorption reduces the amount reaching Earth’s surface and helps protect living tissues from cellular and genetic damage. Option A is correct. Radio waves, seismic waves and ocean waves are not the radiation bands responsible for ozone’s protective role.
