Properties of EM Waves: Practice Problem & Solution

Biological importance of Ozone layer is: (2001)
It stops ultraviolet rays
Ozone layer reduces green house effect
Ozone layer reflects radio waves
Ozone layer controls $O_2/H_2$ ratio in atmosphere

Solution Explained:

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Properties of EM Waves. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

The ozone layer in the stratosphere is biologically important because it absorbs most of the Sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, protecting living organisms on Earth from UV-induced damage.
