The upper stratosphere consists of considerable amount of X. X protects us from the harmful ultraviolet radiations coming from the sun. These radiations cause skin cancer (melanoma) in humans. X is :

Ultraviolet radiations produce the photo oxidant

Assertion: Ultraviolet radiation are of higher frequency waves are dangerous to huhman beaing. Reasion: Ultraviolet radiation are absorbed by the atmosphere

Stratosphere contains a stable layer of ozone molecules which absorbs UV radiation from the sun. The presence of ozone in atmosphere serves, as a shield to protect living organism on earth from the harmful effects of the solar ultraviolet radiation. The ultraviolet radiation are known to cause skin cancer. Ozone is formed in stratosphere by the following photochemical reactions. O_(2)(g)overset(UV)rarrO(g)+O(g) O(g)+O_(2)(g)overset(UV)hArrO_(3)(g) Ozone is thormodhynamically unstable and ecomposes to molecular oxygen. Thus a dynamic equilibrium exits between the production and decomposition of ozone molecules. Earth is protected from UV radiation by

Statement-1 : Ultrasonics is the acoustic analogue of ultraviolet radiation Statement-2 : Ultraviolet rays do not produce visual sensations while ultrasonic waves are not heards by the human ear.
