The right answer is D. none of above.

Light can be defined as a wave and also as packets of energy: particles called photons. The energy increases when the frequency increases that is to say that one goes towards the ultraviolet (UV).

The sun emits its maximum wavelengths between 0.3μm and 25μm.

The atmosphere, the oceans and the surface of the continents absorb solar radiation (short wavelengths: 0.2 to 4 micrometers). This has the effect of increasing their temperature. But any body brought to a certain temperature emits radiations in turn. The wavelength of these radiations depends on the temperature of the emitting surface. Thus, the Earth emits infrared radiation to space; it represents a loss of energy for the Earth.

On earth 70-85% of the radiation is absorbed, 15-30% is reflected. and the energy that has been absorbed is emitted as infrared rays.

kkurt [141]
<span>Vasopressin, or the other name Anti Diuretic Hormone (ADH), has the action of causing the opposite (anti) of a diuretic. I.e., it causes the body to retain sodium, thus retaining water. This has many physiological effects, the majority of which focus around enabling the body to maintain homeostasis when water intake or hydration levels drop.</span>
