  1. Ultra violet light of Sun’s radiation is prevented from reaching the earth’s atmosphere by the layer of
    1. Oxygen
    2. Hydrogen
    3. Ozone
    4. Helium
Correct Option: C

The ozone layer is a layer in Earth’s atmosphere containing relatively high concentrations of ozone (O3). The layer absorbs 97–99% of the Sun’s mediumfrequency ultraviolet light (from about 200 nm to 315 nm wavelength), which potentially damages exposed life forms on Earth.
