1. The ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight, specifically UV-B (280–315 nm) and UV-C (100–280 nm), is absorbed by the ozone layer. This absorption protects life on Earth by reducing harmful radiation reaching the surface. For more visit here: https://www.tiwariacademy.com/ncert-solutions/class-12/pRead more
