Question

Infrared rays are absorbed by the ozone layer which protects the earth true or false?

Answer 1

False.  The ozone layer handles UV.

The atmosphere in general absorbs/reflects IR.  It's the reason massive amounts of solar IR don't bake the planet's surface and why heat radiated from the planet is reflected back to the surface.

Answer 2

false. Ultra violet, which burns, is absorbed. That is why there has been an increase in the number of sufferers of skin-cancer.

Answer 3

False, the Ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet radiation. However, the absorbed ultraviolet radiation is converted to heat (infrared radiation). The seasonal Ozone Hole over the Antarctic maybe locally offsetting the effects of global warming, the Antarctic Ice Cap is getting colder.

Answer 4

False

The ozone layer is actually responsible for the absorption of UV or Ultra-violet rays.

Remember the higher the frequency the more dangerous they become.

Answer 5

True
