The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the wavelengths that the ozone layer blocks, we will analyze the options provided and use our knowledge about the ozone layer's function in blocking harmful radiation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Ozone Layer's Function**: The ozone layer is known for its ability to absorb and block harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. It plays a crucial role in protecting living organisms on Earth. 2. **Identifying the Wavelengths Blocked**: The ozone layer effectively blocks UV radiation with wavelengths shorter than approximately 290 nanometers (nm). This is a critical point because it indicates the threshold below which radiation is absorbed. 3. **Converting Nanometers to Meters**: To compare the options given in the question, we need to convert 290 nm into meters: \[ 290 \text{ nm} = 290 \times 10^{-9} \text{ m} = 2.9 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m} \] 4. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option (1)**: Less than \(3 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}\) - This includes wavelengths shorter than 290 nm, which are blocked by the ozone layer. - **Option (2)**: Equal to \(3 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}\) - This is at the threshold and is also blocked by the ozone layer. - **Option (3)**: More than \(3 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}\) - This includes wavelengths longer than 290 nm, which are not effectively blocked by the ozone layer. - **Option (4)**: All of the above - This cannot be true since only the first two options are correct regarding the wavelengths blocked. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is: - **Option (1)**: Less than \(3 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}\). ### Final Answer: The ozone layer blocks the radiations of wavelength **less than \(3 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}\)**. ---
