Ozone in the stratosphere is deleted by

UV radiations bring about

Ozone makes the stratosphere

Assertion (A) : Ozone is destroyed by solar radiation in upper streatosphere. Reason (R) : Thinning of the ozone layer allows excessive UV radiations to reach the surface of earth.

Ozone in stratosphere extends

With the depletion of ozone layer more UV radiation filters into the troposphere. UV radiations lead to :

When heathly earth's stratosphere contains a low concentration of ozone (O_(3)) that absorbs potentially harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiations by the cycle shown below: Chloroflouro carbon refrigerants, such as freon 12(CF_(2)Cl_(2)) , are stable in lower atmosphere but in the stratosphere, they absorb high energy UV radiation to generate chlorine radicals. CF_(2)Cl_(2) overset(hv)(to) CF_(2)Cl+Cl The presence of small number of chlorine radicals appears to lower ozone concentrations dramatically. The following reactions are all known to be exothermic (except the one requiring light) and to have high rate constant. A:Cl-O-O-Cloverset(hv)(to)O_(2)+2Cl^(*) B: Cl_O^(*)+O to O_(2)+Cl^(*) C:Cl^(*)+O_(3) to Cl-O^(*)+O_(2) D:2Cl-O^(*) to Cl-O-O-Cl Q. Ozone has the ability to absorb

Stratosphere is characterised by

A body is kept inside a container the temperature of the body is T_(1) and the temperature of the container is T_(2) the rate at which body absorbs the energy is alpha The emissivity of the body is The radiation striking the body is either absorbed or reflected A good absorber is .
