The correct Answer is:
To determine how many of the given statements are correct, let's analyze each statement one by one. 1. **Statement 1**: "Good ozone is found in the stratosphere." - This statement is **correct**. Ozone in the stratosphere forms the ozone layer, which protects the Earth from harmful UV radiation. 2. **Statement 2**: "UV radiation having a lower wavelength than UV-B is almost completely absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere." - This statement is also **correct**. The Earth's atmosphere absorbs most of the UV radiation with wavelengths shorter than UV-B, which helps protect living organisms from harmful effects. 3. **Statement 3**: "UV-B causes snow blindness and cataract." - This statement is **correct** as well. UV-B radiation can indeed cause snow blindness, which is an inflammation of the cornea, and it is also linked to the development of cataracts in the eyes. 4. **Statement 4**: "dB is a unit to measure the thickness of ozone." - This statement is **incorrect**. The thickness of the ozone layer is measured in Dobson Units (DU), not decibels (dB). Now, let's summarize the findings: - Statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct. - Statement 4 is incorrect. Thus, the total number of correct statements is **3**. ### Final Answer: 3
