The correct Answer is:
To determine the ranges of UV (ultraviolet) radiation and IR (infrared) radiation, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding UV Radiation**: - UV radiation is part of the electromagnetic spectrum that has wavelengths shorter than visible light. - The visible light spectrum ranges from approximately 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red). - Therefore, UV radiation has wavelengths that are less than 400 nm. 2. **Understanding IR Radiation**: - IR radiation is part of the electromagnetic spectrum that has wavelengths longer than visible light. - Since the visible light spectrum ends at about 700 nm (red), IR radiation starts from this point and extends to longer wavelengths. - Thus, IR radiation has wavelengths greater than 700 nm. 3. **Summarizing the Ranges**: - **UV Radiation**: Wavelengths less than 400 nm. - **IR Radiation**: Wavelengths greater than 700 nm. 4. **Conclusion**: - The ranges for UV and IR radiation can be summarized as: - UV radiation: Less than 400 nm - IR radiation: More than 700 nm ### Final Answer: - UV radiation has a range of less than 400 nm, and IR radiation has a range of more than 700 nm. ---

Assertion : If U.V radiations and infrared radiations fall on a metal plate, stopping potential would be grater for infrared radiations. Reason : Maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons is inversely proportional to the frequency of incident radiation.

For the 'greenhouse effect' consider statements I to III (I) Sunlight is recived by earth. Some incomintg radiations are reflected back into space by the atmosphere and some is aborbed such as certain UV light by stratosphere ozone. (II) Earth's surface emits IR radiations. (III) Emitted IR radiation are less intense than that emitted by earth's surface. CO_(2) along with IR radiations warm the atmosphere. Select the correct statement:
