The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding greenhouse gases like CO₂, CH₄, CFC, N₂O, and H₂O bromine, we need to analyze the properties of these gases in relation to their interaction with radiation. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the Properties of Greenhouse Gases Greenhouse gases are known for their ability to absorb and emit infrared radiation. This property is crucial in understanding how they contribute to the greenhouse effect. ### Step 2: Understand the Greenhouse Effect The greenhouse effect occurs when the Earth's surface emits infrared radiation (heat) after being warmed by solar radiation. Greenhouse gases trap some of this heat in the atmosphere, preventing it from escaping into space. ### Step 3: Analyze the Options Given 1. **Reflector of long wave radiations**: Greenhouse gases do not reflect long-wave radiation; they absorb it. 2. **Transparent to solar radiation**: While these gases allow solar radiation to pass through, they do not primarily act as transparent mediums for warming. 3. **Absorber of solar radiation for warming of atmosphere**: This option aligns with the known behavior of greenhouse gases, as they absorb infrared radiation and re-emit it, warming the atmosphere. 4. **Transparent to emission from Earth**: This is incorrect because greenhouse gases are not transparent to the infrared radiation emitted by the Earth. ### Step 4: Conclusion Based on the analysis, the correct answer is that greenhouse gases are **"absorbers of solar radiation for warming of the atmosphere."** Therefore, the right option is **Option 3**. ---
